OUR
HISTORY
In August
of 2002, Nick Gough, with support and encouragement from his
wife, Barbara, saw the birth of the Catonsville Children’s
Theatre. Nick had dreamed for years of a place where his
love for theatre and working with children would
be
combined. Saturdays in the Barn, a 12-week workshop for
elementary and middle
school boys and girls gave him the opportunity to share his
passion for the stage. Since those days when a cast of only
8 proudly displayed their talents to a full house, the
company has grown considerably. Barb and Nick have since
been joined by many talented individuals who have lent their
talents to take the company to new and unexplored heights.
We have since performed 12 shows as the culminating
performance for the Saturdays in the Barn series, and have
led young actors and actresses through a variety of workshop
performances such as Monologapalooza and Organized Chaos.
The Catonsville Children’s Theatre has also become a part of
the community performing at St. Agnes Hospital, for Santa
Clause’s arrival in Catonsville, and appearing in
Catonsville’s annual 4th July Parade. We are
proudly supported by the St. Agnes Foundation, and are
members of the Baltimore Theatre Alliance.
OUR
MISSION
The
Catonsville Children’s Theatre is dedicated to providing
opportunities for local children to explore and discover not
only the wonders of the stage, but also of themselves. We
strive to create and maintain an atmosphere that is
challenging and exciting, yet safe and nurturing. Children
who choose to become a part of this creative journey are
given this opportunity to build the self esteem and self
confidence that is such an essential element on the stage
and in every facet of their lives.
OUR
VISION
We
will continue to seek new ways to involve not only curious
and potentially dynamic young performers, but we will also
provide creative opportunities to anyone who refuses to
allow the child inside them to exit stage left. The future
of this company rests on the shoulders of those who wish to
push the boundaries of our imaginations. The future is
bright. Bring shades.
