Description
about catf
The Contemporary American Theater Festival is dedicated to producing and developing new American theater. The centerpiece of CATF’s commitment to new work is an annual repertory festival of four new plays by American playwrights, most often premieres or second or third productions. CATF focuses on plays that deal with contemporary issues, and challenge as well as boldly entertain audiences.
CATF is located in the historic and beautiful town of Shepherdstown, West Virginia, just an hour and a half from Washington, DC and Baltimore. CATF is in residence on the campus of Shepherd University. Shepherd University, a fully accredited public institution of higher education founded in 1871 and located in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, offers a wide variety of distinguished degree programs and other learning opportunities to both traditional and nontraditional students. The university attracts students from the region, the nation, and beyond.
CATF is one of the most vital new play development centers in the country. Since 1991, CATF has produced 59 new plays, including 22 world premieres. Adventurous audiences from 32 states and the District of Columbia and Canada have attended the Theater Festival’s productions. The plays are professionally produced using Actors' Equity Association's LORT D contract; CATF operates under agreements from AEA, United Scenic Artists, and the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers.
