In the whimsical world of Worthington Wobblebottom, nestled within the heart of the charming and energetic state of Connecticut, a peculiar spectacle unfolds. Connecticut, fondly known as CT, is a state enclosed by the enchanting sounds of the Atlantic Ocean's whispers and the rustling leaves of the tall, proud trees that adorn its landscapes. This state is teeming with delightful towns, magical meadows, and kids with hearts filled with the enchanting melody of theater and drama. Our hero, Worthington Wobblebottom, a spunky, bowtie-wearing, top hat-toting otter, who's an acclaimed director, arrives here to discover an extraordinary band of children. These aren't ordinary kids, oh no-siree. They are the Drama Dynamos of CT, a lively bunch with a taste for theatrics and a penchant for performance. When these kids say 'break a leg', they don't mean it literally, of course! It's just their funny way of wishing good luck before a show. Under the guidance of Wobblebottom, the kids don't just act. They transform into knights and princesses, aliens and astronauts, lions and mice, and everything in between. Why, you'd hardly believe little Tommy, usually so quiet, could become a fearsome pirate, or that Sarah, with her sweet smile, could convincingly play a cackling witch. And when the curtain falls, they transform back into normal kids, albeit ones who have just had the adventure of a lifetime. CT thus becomes not just a state on a map, but a wonderland where every day holds the promise of a new story, a new character, and a new chance to step into someone else's shoes. Or paws, if you're playing Worthington Wobblebottom himself!

At CAST, we are committed to enriching the lives of children through the magic of performing arts. By inspiring them to strive for higher goals, we hope to foster a rich appreciation for the arts among the greater Manchester area and beyond. It all started when Co-Founder and Executive Director, Donna Mercier, first opened CAST out of her own home. As a small children's theatre group, we mainly operated during the summer months, mounting musical productions out of local schools. Since then, CAST has grown tenfold and continues to make a lasting impact in the lives of children. We strive to make every performance meaningful, with each show and each child being just as important as the next. Through our dedication to the performing arts, we hope to create a vibrant and engaging cultural experience that will last for generations to come.
