WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Matthew Lombardo's Tea at Five is an intimate look at Katharine Hepburn at home in her Fenwick estate in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. The first act takes place in September 1938. With Broadway appearances and her first Oscar, but her professional future in doubt, she contemplates her childhood in Hartford and her start in show business. The second act takes audiences to February 1983, when the now-legendary star reflects on the triumphs of her career and her great love affair with Spencer Tracy. Kate Mulgrew reprises her role from the acclaimed Hartford Stage production. John Tillinger directs.
25 student rush tickets are available daily, at 5 PM, for $25*. (Cash only, with proper ID, at the box office).

It's impossible to attend Tea at Five, Matthew Lombardo's look-in on Katharine
Hepburn during a rainy afternoon in 1938 and then on a snowy afternoon in 1983, without wondering how the subject herself might react. After all, this is the woman who apparently dropped old friend Garson Kanin when he published Tracy and Hepburn: An Intimate Memoir in 1971. (Used copies are available through amazon.com, as are copies of Hepburn's 1991 Me: Stories of My Life.) This is the woman who has made no bones throughout a fabulous stage and film career about her low regard for invasion of privacy. Indeed, when a doorbell rings late in Lombardo's proceedings, he has Hepburn ask, "Why do you suppose peop[...]
