CAT Youth Theatre is a free, award-winning after school program that helps young people to thrive– on stage and in life. Members create socially relevant, artistically sophisticated original plays while learning vital life skills enabling youth to become self-confident, compassionate and accountable; to develop relationships across differences; build community; and be prepared to act as contributing citizens. Membership is free to the young people who participate. There are no auditions required – just a commitment to be an active participant of the CAT Youth Theatre community.

The collaborative theatre process gives young people the opportunity to make new meanings from the material of their lives. Each week, members participate in theatre games and exercises, improvisations and scene work, rehearsal, critical reflection, and group discussion as they look critically at the world around them, decide what it is they want their theatre to say, and think about what their role in the world should be. It inspires creativity, builds self-esteem and resiliency, broadens horizons, develops social awareness AND it’s free!

Each spring, the CAT Youth Theatre company (young people in high school) presents a full production of an original work in a professional venue.

About LAN•GUAGE
lăng’gwĭj / A systemic means of communicating by the use of signs, sounds, gestures, or marks. Language is used to include and exclude, to express love and hate, to oppress and to speak out against wrongs. But whose voices are dominating? What are they saying? How do we choose to use our voices?
We look forward to sharing the show with you!
