It’s 2009, the year in which the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center and Theater will open in Hepburn’s beloved seaside town of Old Saybrook, Connecticut.

Children are skating on the town green outside “The Kate.” They’re in front of what will be the new entrance to the theater. It’s a beautiful addition to the existing building erected in 1910.

The Board of Trustees is really working hard as we get ready to open the theater this summer. Programming is already underway and the carpeting and chairs are ordered.

We also have our “Founding Fans” campaign up and running that we want you all to be a part of. For just $15.00 you can become a “Founding Fan.” You will have your name put onto an elite list on the website and your name will also be placed into a special place in the theater.

Another challenge before us…we have until Valentine’s Day to match a $100,000.00 amount given so graciously to the theater by trustee, Bob Czepiel and his wife Anne. The board is really working hard to match every one of those Czepiel dollars. You can help us do that by becoming a “Founding Fan.” How do you do that? You can click on the big red bottom at the top of this page that says “Founding Fan” or you can go to our new Facebook page. Come be a part of this exciting adventure!

Thanks Bob Czepiel for snapping this wonderful moment outside “The Kate.”

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