In celebration of the extraordinary life and work of Karen Kuykendall, ZACH is honored to name its new theatre stage after Austin's most beloved actress and community treasure.

Fore more than five decades, Karen Kuykendall inspired Austin with her talent, warmth, wit and generosity, and now we can thank her for all she has done for ZACH and for Austin with the Karen Kuykendall Stage

“Karen was one of the most extraordinary artists I have ever had the privilege to work with,” says ZACH Artistic Director Dave Steakley.

“She was more than an actress...she was Austin’s consummate diva, a word greatly over-used today, but one to which few are as entitled as the divine Ms. Kuykendall.”

Her family’s wish is that memorial donations will support ZACH's Kuykendall Stage. Memorial gifts are fully tax-deductible.

For gifts of $10,000 and above, donors will receive permanent acknowledgment on the Karen Kuykendall Stage Wall.

We hope you’ll join us in saluting Karen and raising the Kuykendall Stage in her honor.

On September 9, friends and family of Karen Kuykendall came together to launch the Kuykendall Stage campaign in true style at the lovely Green Pastures, Karen’s childhood home… To see photos Click Here
