CAT's program staff has traveled the world, sharing its expertise and
spreading the word about the potential of educational theatre and
drama. CAT's ability to develop special projects has become a central
plank of its mission to disseminate the work, training and supporting
others in new ways of reaching young people. These projects also
provide exciting opportunities to explore programming options not
possible within the four walls of the classroom and to stimulate new
growth and creative energy for CAT itself.

The New York City Student Shakespeare Festival (NYCSSF) is a teacher
development program produced by the Paul A. Kaplan Center for
Educational Drama at the CUNY/Creative Arts Team. Founded in 1994 to
encourage students to celebrate William Shakespeare's work, the
Festival program features a mentor model of professional development
for teachers and culminates with student performances at a major Off
Broadway playhouse.
