Never to be left in the wake, the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center and Theater is and has been for some time on Facebook, and now we’re on Twitter. We laugh at the latest technology and then get on board. Find us at @Cometothekate.
Now if you’re whiling away the time, you will never missing anything going on at The Kate, ever and that is our intention.
The Kate is such a vibrant center in Hepburn’s beloved Old Saybrook, Connecticut, that the world needs to know about it to keep us front and center always.
The avatar of Hepburn on the Twitter page is from a huge gathering of stars back in the day at MGM Grand.
So welcome The Kate to Twitter and when you see this, retweet for us if you please. You’ll be helping the arts and this non-profit “gem of a place with a movie star name” thrive. Thank you kindly.
Mark your calendars for July 17th , 2010. This year’s gala for the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Art Center is going to be out of this world.
I sat with the gala chair last week and my jaw was dropping open at not only the theme which is “Midsummer Magic,” but the folks who have gotten involved to make it an event that will be “over the moon.”
As in our very first gala which was in October of 2009 (yes, we changed it to summer), there will be 400 seats available and because of the large number of guests there will be two shows. Last year we featured Connecticut’s Moses Pendleton’s Momix and it was a sensation. This year, yes, you guessed it, can’t tell you yet.
There will be cocktails with a silent auction, dinner and this year there will be dancing under the tent.
I have been told a little about this tent, and well, you’re just going to have to wait. Suffice it to say it will be something the likes of which Old Saybrook, Connecticut has never seen. How’s that for a tease?
Black tie will not be required…so put on the cocktail dress and come out.
Pianist, George Winston sold out The Kate at his March 6th, concert. Winston is pictured here with the Executive Director of The Kate, Chuck Still.
You could hear a pin drop in the place as he played masterfully for the crowd. Winston introduced each piece and then to work on the ivories. Not only did he wow the crowd with his piano playing, but also the acoustic guitar and a selection on the harmonica.
Winston met after the concert with a few board members to say how fond he was of the sound and the lighting in the theater and that he would like to return to the venue to play.
He’s rather a shy kind of chap, but personable and a perfectionist at what he does.
Thanks, George for sharing your wonderful talent and do come back.
It’s an event called “Hats Off to The Kate.” Get your tickets for the April 30th event now and make sure you bring your favorite hat, chapeaux, whatever, because there will be a prizes awarded for the best dressed.
There will be wine and food and some great entertainment.
Suzanne Tanner Meisel will be doing selections from her “Voices of Herstory.” It’s a millinery musical that you’ll love.
There are several clips of this show right here: Suzanne Tanner Meisel Gallery. You’ll note all in the audience are wearing hats, just so fun.
Get your tickets now this is going to be a lot of fun.
