Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center

The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center is a theatre in Old Saybrook, Connecticut that opened in 2009. It is the only theatre named for Katharine Hepburn, the 4-time Academy Award winning actress, in the world. The building, in which the venue will be housed, is circa 1910 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The 250 seat theatre has the full backing of the Hepburn Estate and the actress's family. Cynthia McFadden of ABC News, an executor of the Hepburn Estate, is an honorary capital campaign committee member. Hepburn's brother-in-law, Ellsworth Grant, is currently instrumental in helping the Board of Trustees honor the iconic actress with his knowledge of Hepburn and her family. Grant is an author and former Mayor of West Hartford, Connecticut.
