Kevin O’Connor will close out our Charter Day celebrations at Sipe Center on February 7 at 7:00 pm. Kevin O’Connor is the Emmy-award winning host of This Old House and Ask This Old House and has been on the shows since 2003. Kevin is the author of The Best Homes of This Old House, serves on the editorial board of This Old House Magazine, and hosted Clearstory, a top-ranked podcast. Kevin, along with his four brothers and two sisters, grew up on various job sites led by his father, a civil engineer. Years later, he remained an avid home-improvement enthusiast. When Kevin, a lifelong fan of This Old House, and his wife Kathleen were renovating their 1892 Queen Anne Victorian home, they sent an email seeking advice from the experts of Ask This Old House. To their surprise and delight, the house call served as Kevin’s first screen test to serve as the new host (the third host in the history of the pioneer home improvement series).
Tickets are $40. Tickets are available for purchase online, over the phone or in person at the box office. The box office is open for in-person sales Thursday through Sunday, from 3-8 pm or by calling 540-908-4208.
