IN REMEMBRANCE
In 2024 we lost one of the Kate’s most beloved Members and patrons, Peg Curran. Prior to her retirement, Peg was a respected physical education teacher at The Morgan School and Jared Eliot Middle School, both in Clinton. She was an accomplished coach in basketball, field hockey, soft ball and cheerleading. Not only did Peg light up the Kate each time she attended a show but she also held the record of attending 70+ shows in one year. The staff gifted her a custom “I LIVE AT THE KATE” sweatshirt to celebrate. Peg, you are dearly missed!
Dear Friends,
Thank you for being a part of the Kate this year! We are happy to present to you our 2023-2024 gratitude report. With much to celebrate and even more to look forward to, we express our appreciation to all of our invaluable Members, donors, sponsors, and patrons.
We have much to be thankful for: the capacity to showcase the arts in a manner that unites individuals from all walks of life; the remarkable enthusiasm for our programs and events, which has resulted in the highest annual attendance to date, exceeding 69,000; the chance to nurture the next generation through exceptional arts education initiatives; and the honor of preserving Miss Hepburn’s legacy through the Katharine Hepburn Museum and the Spirit of Katharine Hepburn Award. As we reflect on the past year, the theme of connections remains prominent:
• Artists in all disciplines - music, dance, film, theater, and fine art - connect with audiences in our intimate theater.
• Our wonderful volunteers connect with patrons at each event, providing a welcoming environment.
• The connections to our community grow and strengthen every year through the efforts of the staff who work closely with local partners on exciting collaborations and unique projects.
• Our connection to our namesake and Old Saybrook history is highlighted through the museum exhibits and special events.
• We are strongly connected with the Town of Old Saybrook and appreciate the chance to bring life to this beautiful, historic building more than 320 days of the year, contributing to our local economy.
Finally, the Kate staff and our Volunteer Guild Members share a close connection and work in harmony to maintain the programming and the beauty of this gem of a place. We think it’s working! Thank you for taking the time to read through what we’ve shared in this report.
We’ll see you at the Kate!
