Catalyst (C3T) is completely writer friendly, geared to giving
writers what they need for their work.
C3T brings world-class theatrical collaborators to our work;
designers, directors, music directors, choreographers, and the
potential for union actors as needed.
C3T trains and utilizes passionate theatre students; we audition
and hand-pick students as performers, stage managers, designers
and technical crew. This is a unique opportunity to provide
professional-level experience and training on a university
campus.
C3T is rich with scholarly resources: Professors, MFA and Ph.D.
students who often join our team as dramaturgs, performers and
designers.
C3T is located in Northern California, perfectly poised to draw
on talent and audiences from the San Francisco Bay Area and
Capital District Theatre Communities.
C3T connects plays and playwrights to a national network of
theatre makers.
