Tory Burch, the leading name in sophisticated American sportswear known for its eclectic sensibility, will be opening the doors of its East Hampton Boutique on Saturday, August 28, 2010 for an exclusive shopping event to benefit The Theatre Museum.
Hosted by five time Tony Award winning Broadway producers Stewart F.

"It's a chance to pick up some of the most stylish fashions on the market today, and, at the same time, help out The Theatre Museum which is a great organization ," says Bonnie Comley, who is on the Museum's board of advisors. "We're thrilled that Tory Burch is lending its support with such a unique event."
Lane, Comley's husband, is Chairman of the Theatre Museum.
