Past Show
July 20 - August 05, 2007
Our theatre will take a ninth-life leap to celebrate our 30th Annual Summer Youth Theatre program in the all-teen reinvention of Cats—featuring a unique cast of 41 felines ages 13-19. This compelling fable of hope and redemption includes larger-than-life characters that inhabit a metaphorical junkyard where one of them will be chosen for rebirth. Among the candidates are the criminal Macavity, rocker Rum Tum Tugger, and the once-glamorous Grizabella, now but a faded memory of her former self.
Summer Youth Theatre Production, ages 13 - 19
CATS is presented through exclusive arrangement with The Rodgers & Hammerstein Theatre Library, 229 West 28th Street, 11th floor, New York, New York 10001
