At CAST, we are committed to enriching the lives of children through the magic of performing arts. By inspiring them to strive for higher goals, we hope to foster a rich appreciation for the arts among the greater Manchester area and beyond.

It all started when Co-Founder and Executive Director, Donna Mercier, first opened CAST out of her own home. As a small children's theatre group, we mainly operated during the summer months, mounting musical productions out of local schools. Since then, CAST has grown tenfold and continues to make a lasting impact in the lives of children.

We strive to make every performance meaningful, with each show and each child being just as important as the next. Through our dedication to the performing arts, we hope to create a vibrant and engaging cultural experience that will last for generations to come.
