A Message from
Our Executive Director
During the course of a production at CAT of Corona, the members of the audience will be witnesses to a miracle: Watching children, some of whom have absolutely no theater experience, blossom before our eyes into confident performers. Here at CAT of Corona, we are helping children experience this for themselves.
​
We fill a tremendous need, especially since the arts have virtually disappeared from school budgets. I welcome all families in our community to join us. We are in the business of truly building character in our kids!
