Community Asian Theatre of the Sierra

CATS Mission Statement

The Community Asian Theatre of the Sierra (CATS) founded in 1994, is dedicated to promoting cultural diversity through quality multicultural theater, events, and workshops. Through these avenues, CATS seeks to enrich the cultural climate of the Sierra Foothills, Nevada County, Sacramento County, and other regional communities in northern California with works on Asian-based themes. Its mission is artistic and educational. CATS seeks to expand the study of multiculturalism in the schools and to be a resource on Asian culture and history. CATS welcomes participation from Asians and non-Asians alike whose interest is in ethnic theater and multicultural arts and activities.
