Another Superb Year for the CAT Youth Theatre!

"I have been in CAT since August 2011. I didn't really have any theatre experiences before CAT. hat's what I came for, and it's been a great experience from day one. It's one of the places where I feel the most accepted and included. Theatre can be very powerful and emotional. We can reclaim our voices by protesting and fighting back. I want our audience to walk away knowing that they they can fight for their rights. Don't be afraid to speak out!"

Hard to believe that those are the words of the shy girl who refused to go on stage for three years, but that's sums up the transformative power of the CAT Youth Theatre. AND IT'S FREE TO ALL MEMBERS!

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 family of supporters that this program can remain free. Thank you for being a part of our community!

Can we count on your support?

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! 

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