Meet the Visionaries Behind The Drama Dept.
The Drama Department is the next exciting act in the story of The Cat! After seven years of requests from our community, we’re thrilled to expand opportunities for youth productions, giving even more young performers the chance to take the stage. The Drama Dept. is a nonprofit youth theater school dedicated to fostering creativity, confidence, and a love for the performing arts among young performers in Hamilton County and the surrounding areas. Whether stepping into the spotlight for the first time or honing their craft, The Drama Department is here to make theater more accessible, more exciting, and more impactful for the next generation of performers.
Audrey Larkin serves as Artistic Director– managing director of The Cat – contributes her deep experience in theater production and nonprofit arts management. She is joined by Will Wood, owner of The Cat, whose passion for community theater and production excellence helps solidify The Drama Dept. as a vital resource for young performers.
