Night of Comedy in Support of Acton Public Library at The Kate

Join us for a night of laughter and community support as the Acton Public Library presents a Night of Comedy to benefit the Library’s Renewal Project. In November 2023, the Library received a $2 million CT State Construction/Renovation Grant, but we need your help to raise an additional $2 million in matching funds to make the renewal possible (we are 71% of the way to that goal).

Come enjoy performances from four incredibly talented and hilarious comedians, all while contributing to a great cause. Your attendance will directly support the continued growth and improvement of the library, ensuring it remains a valuable resource for years to come.
 

Comedian Line-Up: Tracy Locke, Howie Mason, Kristy Kielbasinski & Angel Rentas

Thursday, August 28, 2025 – Show Starts at 7:00 PM (6PM VIP Pre-show Cocktail Party for VIP Ticket holders ONLY)

All proceeds of this evening support the Acton Public Library’s upcoming renewal project—helping to ensure continued access to learning and enrichment for residents of Old Saybrook and beyond.

The upcoming renovations will focus on several key areas of the Library:

● Teen Space

● Children's Office and Work Area

● Reconfigured Staff Spaces

● Expanded Meeting Rooms and Gathering Spaces

● New and Improved Outdoor Programming Areas and Patios

● Revitalized Library Collections, Services, and More

Quote from Victoria Miller, Chief Development Officer:

“It’s going to be a memorable evening that will have a lasting impact on the shoreline,” said Victoria Miller, Chief Development Officer. “Thanks to a generous long-time friend of Old Saybrook, every ticket, every sponsorship, and every donation will be matched—up to $25,000. That means your laughter goes twice as far in helping us reach our $5.08 million goal for the Library’s Renewal Project. We’re excited we will be able to offer a library that’s forward-thinking and reflects the evolving needs of our community.”
