Hepburn arts center kicks off performance schedule
Old Saybrook - The building at 300 Main St. today comes alive, once again, as a theater. The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center will hold its first performance inside the theater tonight with a show by country rock band Pure Prairie League. And all 250 seats are sold out, said Chuck Still, the center's executive director. The big opening comes after years of anticipation and work to convert the old town hall and former home of the Old Saybrook Musical and Dramatic Club into a theater named for the town's famed late resident. Hepburn was a longtime resident of Fenwick and died in 2003 at age 96. While some have questioned whether the intensely private actress would have wanted her name used for the theater, Hepburn's family and estate executors have endorsed that use. - theday.com
