The Crane Acting Troupe (CAT) is a self-supporting co-curricular activity open to students in grades 7 through 12 under the advisement of music and theatre teacher Gail Nadeem Helfer.
Each year students in CAT have the opportunity to attend workshops on auditioning skills, costuming, make-up and stage crafts. Members are not only performers, but also technical staff and crew members interested in the many tasks associated with theatre, both onstage and backstage.
