Whether you are drawn to the Kate for a love of the performing arts or of Katharine Hepburn, we hope that each Kate experience is a great one. Like many not-for-profit arts organizations, ticket sales alone make up only 65% of the Kate’s operating costs each year. The generosity of our donors and Members allows us to keep doing what YOU love – presenting dynamic and entertaining performing arts on the shoreline. As a patron, you help keep the arts alive in our community.
