Fans of the CAT Youth Theatre FREE for members!

"I will always be so proud to have been a part of the CAT Youth Theatre. I think about the lessons that Helen and every other member of Youth Theatre taught me on a daily basis. I would 100% not be who I am if it weren't for everything CAT brought to my life."- Youth Theatre Alum

“Once again I was in awe at the performance. It is very clear to  me that CAT Youth Theatre Group is far more than theatre - it is about  changing lives” –Audience Member

Why we're raising money for CAT Youth Theatre

We  are FANS of CAT Youth Theatre and we each have our own reasons for  loving the company. We have worked with them as administrators, graphic  designers, students, or 'interns' back in the day. All of us have been audience  members who have been struck by the power of the work.

CAT  Youth Theatre is a unique program, using theatre to encourage young  people to 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. Young people ages 10 and up get amazing opportunities  to create original theatre, work with a huge variety of people who they  might never meet, and share their work with their families and peers. 

Though CAT is fully committed to keeping the program free for participants, we  need to raise funds to make that possible. We want to do our part to  make sure that the program is available to NYC young people for years to  come.

Join our team and help us raise much needed funds for this incredible organization!

Want to make an even bigger impact? Can you make a recurring donation? Even just $10 a month can make a HUGE difference! 

About the CAT Youth Theatre

CAT Youth Theatre is a FREE program that helps young people to thrive – on stage and in  life. Members create socially relevant 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. 

The collaborative theatre process gives young people  the opportunity to make new meanings from the material of their lives.  There are no auditions – and it’s free to the young people who participate. CAT Youth Theatre is a program of the CUNY Creative Arts Team. It’s only through the support of our “village” that this program can remain free- thank you for being a part of that village!

Thank you for joining our team- and us!- as a supporter of the CAT Youth Theatre!
