Participants in this year’s summer production will work toward bringing this amazing show to the stage. Based on the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, CATS tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heavyside layer. A true musical theatre phenomenon, CATS opened at London's New London Theatre on May 11, 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. Be a part of the magic of this amazing musical as we bring it to Brampton with MAPAS flair. Cost: $500
