About this event
In the Kaat’s Cradle Theater Series, local and visiting theater artists present original performances on the stage of Kaat’s Cradle, housed at the carriage house theater space located at 76 Main St. in Stamford, NY. Events between July and September offer audiences the opportunity to access unique live arts experiences in the quirky, intimate theater space.
From dance, theater and clowning to a live reading of a TV pilot, the Kaats Cradle Theater Series has something for everyone! These work-in-progress showings allow artists to bring an audience to their projects for the first time and allows audiences to participate in the development of innovative performance, getting a behind-the-scenes at how productions come to life.
