I am still hearing from both promoters that Kate will attend both the
Slanted Fedora and Vulkon conventions the weekend of Nov. 16th-18th,
2001. If you are planning on attending either one I would suggest
e-mailing the promoters to get confirmation before making any type of
reservations (especially plane tickets) which can not be refunded.
Scanned some of my photos of Roxann Dawson at the Cleveland Women of
Star Trek Voyager con.

Sci-Fi Wire is reporting that Kate's next project will be a one-woman
stage show entitled Tea at Five,which stars Mulgrew as Katharine
Hepburn and tracks the acting legend's career from the ages of 33 to
76. Mulgrew said that the show will open in Hartford, Conn., in
February 2002, to be followed, hopefully, by a run in New York.

New Show About Hepburn At Hartford Stage
By FRANK RIZZO
Courant Staff Writer
June 21, 2001
In a way, it was inevitable.
After all, Hartford's Katharine Hepburn has been a prominent
figure in the American entertainment landscape for most of the 20th
century. When you combine her stage, film and television career with
her unique and independent personal style, you can understand why so
many people have been enamored of the woman, who at 94 still lives in
her Fenwick family homestead in Old Saybrook.
Now Matthew Lombardo, who grew up in Wethersfield, has written a
one-person show about Hepburn at two significant stages of the
actress's life. "Tea at Five" will be presented Feb. 7 to March 10 as
part of Hartford Stage's main-stage season. Kate Mulgrew, known for
her role as Captain Janeway in TV's "Star Trek: Voyager," will play
Hepburn at two significant stages of her life: when she returned to
Connecticut after being banished by studio heads for being "box office
poison" in 1938; when she was 76 in 1983 after her automobile
accident. No director has yet been named for the new work.
The first act ends with her receiving the script to the play
"The Philadelphia Story," which was to revive her career.
Coincidentally, the Philip Barry play will open the main-stage
season at Hartford Stage Oct. 4 to Nov. 4. David Warren,who staged the
currently playing "Baptiste," will direct "The Philadelphia Story."
Neither Hepburn nor her family has been approached regarding the work
and production, so it is unknown what her reaction will be to the
dramatizing of her life. Lombardo portrays it as a tribute to the
actress but adds he will honestly touch on all aspects of her life.
Michael Wilson, artistic director of Hartford Stage, says there are
efforts to encourage other local institutions to have their own
celebrations of Hepburn's life.
Added transcript & screen captures from an interview Kate did for the
show, Alex Bennett...Again. The date of this interview is 8/24/95.
This interview aired on a UPN station but I am guessing it was a
syndicated program. The video was a little snowy so I kept the screen
captures small and to a minimum. Many THANKS to Totally Kate!
contributors for the video and transcript!
