    The Our Kids review of Children's Arts Theatre School

    our take

    Children’s Arts Theatre School’s (CATS) vibrant, professional performing arts experiences for youth include a Summer Camp and ongoing Drama School programs. It’s the local leader in theatre education for kids ages 3–18, blending creativity, skill development, and performance in a fun teaching environment. Many instructors are themselves graduates of CATS’ programs, so they connect with the kids but also know the importance of fun and energy, and of the role everyone plays in creating a great play or production. CATS Summer Camp is an intensive two-week theatre program for kids aged 4–14. Drama, dance, vocals, and visual arts are all included, with half-day and full-day options. In the after-school drama program, games and improv exercises make it fun for kids to let loose, build performance skills, and stretch themselves outside of the classroom. Along the way, they build confidence in their ability to express themselves and get to experience theatre. No matter what age group your child is in, they gain skills as they work toward a culminating performance. It all stems from founder Gina Anki’s four-plus decades of experience in theatre, acting, teaching, and consulting, and a fervent desire to give kids an outlet that helps them grow and flourish.

    Fortunate enough to take classes at C.A.T.S.

    “Having been fortunate enough to take classes at C.A.T.S. in my youth, I have learned invaluable skills in the areas of self-confidence, self-discipline, teamwork, and long-term commitment. The school provides the ideal environment for personal growth and development, while also nurturing and arousing the hidden artistic talents within us. C.A.T.S. inspired me to challenge myself intellectually, creatively, and emotionally, giving me the foundation for all that I have accomplished in my performing life so far and for all that I have yet to achieve.� ...

    Children’s Arts Theatre School has provided so many valuable opportunities

    “Children’s Arts Theatre School has provided so many valuable opportunities to students of Etobicoke School of the Arts. The extra training as triple threat artists has enhanced many students talents in our Music Theatre program. The invaluable experience these young artists receive outside of the school has helped them shine on the stage, created many lasting friendships and forged a great professional relationship with ESA and Children’s Arts Theatre School. We share many of the same professional guest artists, and share the same goals about educating the youth of tomorrow’s Broadway stage.” - Paul Aikins, Head of Musical Theatre at Etobicoke School of the Art ...

    WHAT MAKES CATS DRAMA CAMP SO UNIQUE?

    CATS Drama Camp, now in its 24th season, continues to deliver students of all ages with the ultimate in theatrical training and performance quality in just two short weeks of drama camp. Parents often ask us...how do we do it? It is simple really, says Anki, Founder and Artistic Director of Children's Arts Theatre School. If anyone understands how to put on a show it is our staff! Many of whom have been former students of CATS camp, remember how important it is to create a fun, upbeat, engaging theatre arts camp that has something special and unique for each student. Whether it is theatre, dance, vocals or visual arts, we strive to encourage everyone to try something new, to challenge themselves in all sectors of the performing arts, to meet new people and most importantly, to have FUN! We have been very fortunate, in that many of our campers return year after year, with the anticipation of what the summer show will be! Complete with costumes, make up, lights and sound, this season we are delighted to produce an adaptation of Shrek the Musical. Included in the two week drama camp we also offer free extended hours and two healthy snacks prepared daily. For more information on how to register please visit us at www.catsdrama.com ...
