Gala and Annual
Performance

SAVE THE DATE!
CATA’s Gala and Annual Performance will take place May 11 & 12, 2019 at Shakespeare & Company.

 

“I had never experienced an evening like this.

What talent. What dedication. What a spirited community I live in.”

 

CATA’s signature public event, the Gala and Annual Performance is the culmination of hundreds of performing arts workshops and a celebration of the tremendous artistry of people with disabilities. Hosted at Shakespeare & Company’s Tina Packer Playhouse, the event is a powerful demonstration of community and inclusion —“one of the most joyous and inspiring events of the year.”

 

Thanks to everyone who made our 25th Anniversary Gala and Annual Performance a huge success. YOU make our CATA artists shine in two SOLD-OUT performances! Watch the performance online:
