So Much to See at The Kate Open House

Hundreds came to call on The Kate on Sunday, September, 6, 2009. The theater was sparkling. We served more than one-thousand glasses of lemonade to guests as they toured thru the venue.
The volunteer ushers did a tremendous job and they were wearing shiny brand new “Kate” badges that were so kindly donated to the theater by Old Saybrook residents, JoAnn and Len Dongweck of Dongweck Engraving. We thank you so much for your kindness.
There were television stations recording the event as was The New York Times and many Connecticut papers.
The first official event is “Pure Prairie League” this coming Friday and the event is sold out.
So many shows are coming. Remember to check the web site on a regular basis.

See you at “The Kate.”
Ann Nyberg, Trustee, KHCAC
