From screen to stage

Few stars lit up the silver screen like Katherine Hepburn. Nominated for a dozen Academy Awards, she won four—including one for Best Actress for her role in the popular 1967 rom-com Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Now—thanks to the writing talents of playwright Rick Foster (of Sonora, Calif., in the foothills)—her life will light up the stage in Sacramento Theatre Company's Kate, a one woman-show starring Janis Stevens. It's set on New Year's Eve in 1999, as a 92-year-old Hepburn reflects on fond memories from her life, and looks ahead to the future. It's being presented in partnership with Sacramento's Area 4 Agency on Aging. Full disclosure: Last year, SN&R theater critic Jeff Hudson heard Stevens read from the script and was asked to comment on an early version of it. Kate, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday; 2 p.m. Saturday, Sunday; $15-$40. Sacramento Theatre Company at Wells Fargo Pavilion, 1419 H Street; www.sactheatre.org.
