All the world's a stage.
Theater
The only experience more exciting than being in the audience of Cate Theater production is being backstage and making the magic happen.
Recognized for developing daring solo shows, staging collaborative plays, presenting student-directed festivals, and mounting large-scale musicals, theater artists at Cate create courageous performances through diversified course-work and numerous extra-curricular projects.
We believe that kindness and creativity share the spotlight. At Cate, we shine best when our art is shared. Rigor is essential, imagination is elemental, and community is at the heart of it all.
Theater at Cate celebrates artistic exploration and imaginative risk-taking in traditional indoor venues and under the stars in our beautiful, outdoor amphitheater. Students focused on performing and directing can follow a progressive learning program that integrates contemporary and classical practices with an innovative curriculum culminating in a year-long Advanced Theater course. All students are invited to investigate aspects of long-form improvisation, participate in a one-act series of shows, focus on college audition techniques, or learn the art of costume and make-up design through master classes and community engagement projects.
You can be part of these or choose a student-directed plays and musicals. Scenes and skits often find their ways into Convocations and assemblies and improv performances are a part of everyday life.
