Hello there!
Welcome to C.A.T.S Youth Theatre!

The Children's Amateur Theatre Group, or C.A.T.S. for short, is a new musical experience for all young people aged 8 to 11 years old to join.
The group was founded in 1991, originally with members from After School Drama Clubs, but you don't have to be in one of these clubs to join. Oh dear me, no.
All our members are taught the 3 main disciplines of Musical Theatre; Singing, Dancing and Acting. This helps us to learn new skills, or helps us to improve our present skills.
Every member builds their creativity, confidence, self-esteem and social skills while rehearsing for a production. Plus - you meet new friends while working as part of our team. And have loads of fun too.
We rehearse every Friday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, and now have over 50 members!

So, interested?
Do you want to be the next big thing?

Any young person aged between (and including) 8-11 can join and there are no auditions to pass, so you can join straight away, C.A.T.S is open to anyone, from any backgrounds, religious beliefs and origins.
C.A.T.S caters for young people with disabilities.We believe our young people should have a smile, plenty of enthusiasm, be committed, and be ready for a fun time.
We meet on Friday evenings between 6:30pm and 8:30pm in Sunnydale Leisure Centre, so it's accessible for anyone and everyone!
