The CAT Company was founded in 1997 to stage contemporary interpretations
of classic theater and premiere original works by resident playwrights
with a focus on exploring today's most important social and political
issues. It casts without regard to "physical type" and
its mission is to provide an artistic home to talented actors
of all shapes and sizes.
The Character Actors' Theater was founded
by New York City Police Lieutenant Victor Bell,
who serves as the company's Producing Artistic Director.
Our first show is a contempory, urban production of Measure for Measure,
by William Shakespeare, directed by Artistic Director
Jay Stern.
It will play at Raw Space Theater at 529 West 42nd Street from
October 24 through November 9, 1997. For reservations and show

Still looking for production volunteers and casting
all types for street and crowd scenes. (ie: street musicians,
hookers, homeless people & beggars.) If interested it would
mean a one week rehearsal period, and a three week (16 show) commitment.
