Today the original dream continues to grow here in California with quality programs being offered all over Ventura County and Northern Los Angeles County in the Antelope Valley. Roxanne works with local recreation districts to keep class fees affordable for families.

C.A.T.S. classes and summer camp opportunities offer young people the opportunity to explore theatre through the study of acting, movement, and music/voice. Although a number of Roxanne’s former students have gone on to be seen on stage, film and television, many of them are active in local theatre and are “stars” in their own communities. Some of Roxanne's students' Recent credits include: Two and a Half Men, Knocked Up, Cheeta Girls II, Zoey 101 and My Name is Earl as well as national commercials for Kentucky Fried Chicken, Cingular Wireless, Sprite and others.

Following the belief that positive, safe exposure and experiences for youth through acting is a strong self-esteem builder, every student has the opportunity to become a “star.” C.A.T.S. encourages students to go beyond their perceived limitations to find that place of play and magic that resides in all of us. All students enrolled in classes or summer camps will participate in the C.A.T.S. Showcase Performance. Our C.A.T.S. staff members are highly qualified and experienced in the fields of drama, dance and music.

If your child dreams of being on stage, start that dream today by enrolling in a C.A.T.S. class. Please call Roxanne for more information on classes, summer camps and other locations in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.
