Marshall Watson Talk
Marshall Watson, whose work as an interior designer has been featured in Architectural Digest and Beautiful Homes, will talk about his book “The Art of Elegance: Classic Interiors” on Saturday afternoon at 4 at St. Luke’s Hoie Hall in East Hampton.
Mr. Watson, who has a house in Springs, will discuss his approach to interior design and how his previous careers as a theater designer and actor have informed his work. He has been named a designer of the year by Traditional Home magazine and has been named to Luxe’s Gold List.
Of “The Art of Elegance,” Sophisticated Magazine said, “For his first book, Watson shares stunning imagery culled from his most impressive projects, ranging in style and locale from an Italianate village in Los Cabos to a seaside Newport Beach cottage.”
The talk is free.

Call for Actors
The Hampton Theatre Company will hold auditions for the role of Nick in a new production of Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” from 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday at the Quogue Community Hall. Directed by George Loizides, the production will open a three-week run on May 22; rehearsals will begin April 15.
In his mid-to-late 30s, Nick is a self-possessed and ambitious Midwestern biology professor with an athletic build. He is protective of his wife, Honey, but treats her like a child. The roles of George, Martha, and Honey have been cast.
Auditions will be from the script. Appointments can be scheduled by emailing [email protected] or by calling 631-653-8955. Performers unable to attend on the scheduled dates can request a separate appointment, at the director’s discretion.
Book Group
The winter book group of the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons will meet via Zoom on Saturday at 11 a.m. The format typically features three books selected and described by a member of the alliance — often with accompanying slides. Each segment is less than 20 minutes; the entire program lasts about one hour.
This month’s books are “Resilient Garden: Sustainable Gardening for a Changing Climate” by Tom Massey, presented by Pat Garrity; “The Garden Against Time: In Search of a Common Paradise” by Olivia Laing, presented by Alejandro Saralegui, and “Where the Old Roses Grow: Vita Sackville-West and the Battle for Beauty During Wartime” by Janelle McCulloch, presented by Alicia Whitaker.
