My name is Snehal Desai, and I’m the Artistic Director of Center Theatre Group, and I’m joined by my dog, Zadie, to welcome you all to the Kirk Douglas Theatre. Cat Kid Comic Club: The Musical is the latest production from our friends at TheaterWorksUSA, who are also responsible for last year’s insanely popular Dog Man: The Musical, as well as our upcoming presentation of El Otro Oz, a bilingual, Mexican folk-infused musical inspired by The Wizard of Oz.
The program you’re currently reading is filled with information about the talented humans who helped bring the characters and world of Cat Kid to life and is also jam-packed with fun activities. I’ve asked Zadie here to help guide you all through this program. So be on the lookout for her adorable cat-loving face (don’t tell her I said that!)—and she’ll show you all the ways you can explore, participate, and channel your own personal inner Cat Kid!
And with that, we hope you enjoy the show!
Zadie says, “Ruff, ruff, RUFF!!!!”
Yours truly,
Snehal Desai,
Artistic Director
