I know that I can speak for many when I say that the CAT Youth Theatre has been the single most important organization in making me the passionate, forward thinking, and socially conscious person that I am today. In the two and a half hours that I would spend with the CAT Youth Theatre every Tuesday afternoon, I learned more about myself and the world than I would have at school that week. CAT grew me up in more ways than I can count; the youth theatre is a big part of my identity, and I wouldn't be myself without it. I am just one of many whose lives have been touched by the enlightening phenomenon known as the CAT Youth Theatre. If you could find it within your means to donate $1, $5, $10 or a million dollars (you would be my new favorite person) then I would STRONGLY recommend that you do so that this program can remain the free and accessible one that I grew to love as a teenager. Don't wait, DONATE!

"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

Why I'm raising money for CAT Youth Theatre

CAT Youth Theatre is a unique program that uses theatre to encourage young people to look critically at the world around them, helps them decide what it is they want their theatre to say, and reflect on 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. Youth Theatre members also get the opportunity to work with students in the Masters in Applied Theatre program, apprentice with the Junior Youth Theatre, and attend a weekend retreat in New Jersey to celebrate the end of the year.

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

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 invests in 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. With the support of CAT's family of supporters we can keep the program free and active for years to come- thank you for your support!

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