The Mission
The Carmel Apprentice Theatre – come play!
The Carmel Apprentice Theatre draws together theatre veterans coming to play that role of a lifetime, with apprentices curious to perform for the first time in their life. Fearless artists and shy apprentices will perform alongside each other to create great theatre, great community and great fun.
General Information
You don’t have to audition to be cast in our shows! Just register and you can be a part of our show*. At Evaluations, you will have the chance to show us what you can do, and tell us what you would like to do in the show.
Rehearsals will generally be three or four days a week. Some set, prop, and costume work days will be scheduled as well (likely Saturdays).
*Previously, Carmel Apprentice Theatre was a tuition-based program. However, thanks to a generous grant from the Carmel Arts Council, the tuition fee to participate in our productions has been eliminated! Thank you for helping us give community members more access to our programs!

October 29 - November 15, 2020
Carmel Apprentice Theatre is pleased to formally announce the fall musical:
Disney’s
Descendents
From October 29- November 15, 2020, Carmel Apprentice Theatre will perform Disney’s Descendents. Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney's Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical comedy featuring the beloved characters and hit songs from the films!
It is present-day, and in the kingdom of Auradon, all of Disney’s beloved heroes and royalty are living happily ever after, safe from the terrifying villains and troublesome sidekicks they have banished to the magic-free Isle of the Lost. That is until Ben, the benevolent teenage
son of Belle and King Adam (The Beast), offers a chance of redemption for the troublemaking offspring of the evilest villains. Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos – the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella De Vil, and Jafar – are welcomed to Auradon Prep to attend school with the
children of their parents’ sworn enemies. Now entering a completely foreign world and way of life, the four Villain Kids have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?
The Cat is excited to announce The Cast Of Disney's Descendants, opening October 29th!

Leadership
Will Wood: Producer
Audrey Larkin: Production Manager
Audrey Larkin has been involved in theatre in one way or another her whole life. She is a graduate from Baldwin Wallace University’s Theater Program in Cleveland, Ohio where she specialized in dramaturgy, directing, and acting. She’s the working Production Manager at The Cat. She's been involved in the Carmel Apprentice Theatre almost since it started, when she came in to cover the part of Lucy in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown and she hasn't left since. When she’s not at The Cat or at rehearsal you can usually find her scribbling in a notebook, behind her laptop, or reading a book. She’s glad to be back in the area and wants to thank Lisa and Willie for creating this wonderful company and pulling her into the fold.
