Downtown Art

Downtown Art works with teen artists to create original theater, music, and performance events and to champion the capacities of young people in a world which often dismisses their contributions.

The auditions are informal and fun – you’ll get information about our projects and work on a scene with other actors.

Company membership in 2016/17 is open to all young women, ages 13-18. No previous theater experience is required.

CAT Youth Theatre

CAT Youth Theatre is a free, award-winning after school program for NYC middle and high school students to create original theatre. Members meet weekly, from September through May, to explore their ideas and creativity and build their skills through theatre games and exercises, improvisations and scene work, rehearsal, critical reflection, and group discussion.

Each spring, the CAT Youth Theatre company (young people in high school) presents a full production of an original work in a professional venue. Twice a year, the Junior Youth Theatre company (young people in middle school) presents sharings of original work at the CAT studio.

There is no audition or tuition and members are invited on a first come, first served basis. The criterion: a commitment to be an active and collaborative participant. For more information about joining, call (212) 652-2828 or contact Maureen.Donohue@mail.cuny.edu.

CAT Youth Theatre receives generous support from the New York City Council, New York State Council on the Arts, and NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.
