"It will be a pretty casual affair," said Erika Vizes of the Charles Hotel.
She hopes the atmosphere will be festive, with some holiday spirit. Music and hot chocolate are both on the menu.
The guest list was compiled from a variety of sources, according to the firm. Those invited include friends of the Charles Hotel owner Richard Friedman, who is a major regional real-estate developer.
Friedman is a friend of Mamet's, and the title character of Mamet's book, Henrietta the pig, is named after a pet pig Friedman kept at his Martha's Vineyard estate for many years.
Friedman is also no stranger to the Clintons--the first family stays at his Vineyard estate during their annual summer vacation.
Friedman has also been a major contributor to President Clinton's past campaigns as well as many other Democratic Party causes.
Henrietta 's format is that of a typical children's book--31 pages, a short text and watercolor illustrations.
