Scaredy Kat Presents: Gateway Arts Theatre Production

Through this inspiring theatre production by Gateway Arts, meet 11-year-old Kathryn who deals with panic attacks and bullying by focusing on being an aspiring stop-motion filmmaker – with big ideas and even bigger dreams.

The problem is, the figurines she’s building for her movie project keep falling apart — just like her confidence. A world-class over-thinker, she’s a “scaredy Kat” who keeps the world at length to protect herself. Until her new schoolmate Nadia, who is bold, artsy, and everything Kathryn is seemingly not, joins her in making the stop-motion film even better. Can Kathryn brace herself to give this friendship a chance?

Gateway Arts, who brought to stage the successful 12 Going on 13, Brainstorm, and Third Man Syndrome, produces this imaginative and emotionally honest play, inviting young audiences and families — and anyone who’s ever been afraid — to embrace fear, celebrate mistakes, and find the confidence to spread their wings
