Supporting the Arts

The curtain rises, the lights dim, and a hush falls over the audience. That feeling of anticipation, the shared experience of storytelling – that's the magic of live theater. At Community Actors Studio Theatre (CAST), we do more than entertain; we create a space where creativity flourishes and lives are changed. Your support is what keeps our stage lit and our dreams alive.

Theater Changes Lives

  • Being new to the area it gave me a chance to make friends who shared the same interests. I love the family atmosphere of the theatre

    Debi Bradfield

  • Theater awards me the opportunity to find inner peace while bringing happiness through smiles and laughter in a community setting. Being a performer in community theatre allows me to positively interact and be an influential vessel to younger audiences and even ignite interest for the arts.

    Connie Suttle

  • Theater has brought me immense happiness and has given me me the chance to enjoy life. It took a long time to figure out what I wanted and I know that I want to pursue a career in theatre. Even if it’s small it makes me glad to know I’ve done something i consider important to my life.

    Tea Wilson

  • Theatre has taught me how to speak up and show out. It has nursed my confidence through the years and has become a way for me to escape the negatives of the real world. I fully believe that I would not be as confident and comfortable with myself if I had not gone down this path. Theatre has taught me how to be myself, proudly and unapologetically.

    Ashlea Key

  • I've made the most wonderful friends and memories doing theatre. I have always been shy but it really boosts my confidence in myself. It gives me courage to be on a stage and joy to bring others happiness through performing. Everything else that stresses me just kind of falls away.

    Mackenzie Henderson

  • Theatre has absolutely changed my life. Most of my life to my first years in college I struggled a lot with my mental health and anxiety. But being on stage and growing in my skills I’ve become so much more confident and it’s in turn helped me in so many ways to combat some of the issues I’ve faced. Singing and performing is the most exciting thing for me and brings me the absolute most joy in life! :)
