The Cat: Our Mission
Come play!
The Cat is a spirited theatre hub serving the Carmel & Hamilton County area with a multiplicity
of plays, musicals and unique theatrical experiences. Dedicated to cultivating talent and
audiences, The Cat provides an inclusive community for theatrical companies, schools, artists
and audiences to intersect and explore in a creative and fun environment.
Why Hwdr u i lit %-dt d 2019 City of Larmef Arts vrant C
The Cat brings a new dimension to the Carmel Arts District that is unique, affordable and has
"heart". Our Heart and The Beginning sections of this document will describe the "why"
behind The Cat. The Cat Community and Our Mission at Work will describe the scope and
scale of The Cat's work. Finally, the Testimonials (at the very end of the proposal) will provide
a glimpse at the significant impact that The Cat is having in the community and with individuals.
The Cat is contributing to building a stronger and healthier Carmel community by providing this
inclusive place for all to come play.
The Can i ie, mpprentice i iieatre: Our Heart
All are welcome!
The Carmel Apprentice Theatre is the quintessential experience and cornerstone of The Cat.
The Carmel Apprentice Theatre welcomes both the tenured artist and the novice, the theatre
patron and the first-time audience member. The Carmel Apprentice Theatre is dedicated to
creating art with and for people of all ages, abilities and disabilities.
i 'rye Beginrm%
The reason for this local, friendly Cat, and The Carmel Apprentice Theatre
The Cat was created to provide an inclusive environment for artists, companies, teachers and
students - both tenured artists and those who are stepping on stage for the first time. In
making theatre accessible to all, The Cat provides learning, and development opportunities in
all aspects of theatre production and management; and a safe and affordable environment for
artists to incubate and implement original art. Our focus is on inclusion both on stage and off.
We want to allow everyone to be a theatre person or patron and have an enriching theatrical
experience. What do we mean by inclusive? The answer is two -fold:
Everyone can play — everyone can perform (Willie's inspiration)
A few summers ago, Willie Wood took a trip to NYC to visit some friends. Jim & Joyce
Houghton had been living there for years, raising a family and founding a theatre (The Signature
Theatre). Their youngest, a boy named Henry, has autism. At the time of Willie's visit, Henry
was 22 years old. Nevertheless, Henry was cast as a major character in Anything Goes at an
awe-inspiring production company called After Work Theatre.
Jim, who had just received a Tony Award for his theatre, was very well respected in the theatre
community. Not only was he the founding artistic director of a theatre that worked personally
with American legends like Arthur Miller and Edward Albee, he was also the director of drama
at Juilliard. These facts are only important to give context for the rest of the story. Jim was Mr.
Theatre.
EXHIBIT A
An Application and Description of the Proposed Use of the Grant Funds
One of the evenings Willie saw Jim's son Henry in Anything Goes, there was not a seat available
so he stood against the back wall, by a piano, with Jim. Every time Henry came on stage, Willie
glanced over to see Jim's beaming face! At the end of every song Henry was in, Willie looked
over at Jim and saw him whoop and holler! Occasionally Jim would hold up his camera, clearly
in violation of the pre -show instructions!
Jim was experiencing, first hand and deep in his heart, the wonders that theatre can give a
family. Jim was a kid watching Saturday morning cartoons, or witnessing a group of clowns
piling out of a little car. "Mr. Theatre" was a kid again, because he was sharing joy with his son.
It was then that Willie knew that he had to bring this theatrical model to Indiana. The Carmel
Apprentice Theatre. But first.....
Affordability for the artists and the audience
In early February of 2017, Willie had been looking for a theatre to mount a little-known musical:
Cole Porter's You Never Know. All the theatres were either full up, or if available, they were
expensive beyond his reach. The building formerly known as The Warehouse came up for lease
and we hoped to rent it for a month. An hour later, with a new dream, we signed a three-year
contract. We realized that Carmel and Hamilton County could use a multi -use, affordable home
for some of the smaller theatre companies or individual artists. Theatre companies that were
losing their space, had no home, fledgling companies who could use a small home in which to
feel comfortable and thrive, and artists who wished to experiment and grow.
In addition, we wanted our audience to afford to come to The Cat. The price range for live
events in the area is $35 to over $100. We believe that by making it affordable we are bringing
more people into the theatre; and performing arts helps to build a stronger community.
The Cat Community
Our 11' performance was in May of 2017. Side By Side By Sondheim performed by Carmel
legend Ellen Kingston and the Carmel Theatre Company, led by June & John Clair. Since then
we have had over 145 performances of 51 different shows.

Our Mission at Work
Our Keystone Company: The Carmel Apprentice Theatre - Diana Pratt
Diana is 54 years old, and because of some early -life illnesses has the mental capacity of an 8
year -old. We encouraged her family to enroll her in You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, the
inaugural production of the Carmel Apprentice Theatre. This theatre company is for novices,
experts, and everyone in-between. It is a welcoming place. It is a no audition theatre. You sign
up and you're in! Diana can't dance, sing, or memorize lines. No problem! She became our
Woodstock! It was so special watching the cast take responsibility for Diana: getting her on
stage for all her scenes, and then back off again! Diana loved her costume, and her smile
energized the cast and audience. Her brother, Bruce: "Within a few practices Diana had
become part of a play family; with a part that she could handle and be proud of. Everyone
associated with the production went out of their way to help her feel safe and confident. Diana
and I were both very sad that the experience had to end. We both have a new faith in the
goodness of people that surround us in life." And guess what, Diana just performed in her
second show, The Addams Family, as a featured ancestor!
Diana is in the middle, in the pink shirt!

Our Mission at Work (continued)
A Resident Theatre Company: Carmel Theatre Company
In December of 2016, this theatre company lost the lease on their building. In need of a venue
in which to perform their next show, we sat down and talked. They had already cast their next
show and were deep into rehearsals. Side By Side By Sondheim, directed by Ellen Kingston, was
shaping up to be a fabulous show. So we worked out the details and had a rehearsal and
performance plan. The show was a success! CTC was our first theatrical resident, and remains
so today!
An Artist In Need: Gail Payne
When Willie met her a few years back in a little show he was directing, Gail's goal was to create
a respected cabaret series. She started in downtown Indianapolis at a great cabaret series
there. Then she received an amazing opportunity: to perform at 54 Below, Michael Feinstein's
New York City club! The time was short, and she needed a real stage with a real audience as
the incubator for her cabaret. The Cat gave her a few nights, and set up the room like a fancy
nightclub! She invited audiences and performed 2 different nights. The show got better over
the nights. We like to think that we helped send her off to the big time. In our own little way.
Our Ask
As we prepare for our V year (2019) we are focused on stabilizing and sustaining this unique
organization through additional funding opportunities. Personal funds that supported The Cat
in 2017 and 2018 were important to help bring the mission to life and produce an experience
that justified funder's interest and support. For your consideration, we are seeking grants to
provide for the following:
Operations Budget: In 2019 it is our goal for The Cat to break-even. In order to
maintain our low rental rates and ticket prices we seek an operational grant to subsidize
overhead and reoccurring monthly expenses.
Grant Amount: Up to $50,000 (based on 2018 Income and Expense Projections)
2. Staff: Additional staff is required to be able to scale the operations and offerings of The
Cat. The Theatre Operations Coordinator will provide support to the Founding Artistic
Director in the efficient operation of the theatre. This job is designed as an entry-level
position and will give them an immersive experience in theatre management that will
build their experiences and their resume. The goal is to move them forward in their
careers and help them to be more marketable and employable with larger and more
sophisticated performance organizations. (In addition, in keeping with The Cat's mission
to provide development and educational opportunities, we desire to provide careers to
some of the many Theatre Majors graduating from our Indiana Universities.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
o Act as a point of contact to theatre companies and artists
o Support management in supplying, scheduling and training volunteers
o Ensure the optimal audience experience at each performance, while sharing
responsibility to oversee the running of the front of house operations
Grant Amount: $30,000. Supporting 1 full time Theatre Operations Coordinator

"There's a theater in Carmel that I am quite fond of ----- The Northside Drive -In ----but it closed
years ago. I kid. Of course, it's the Cat!
Dave Dugan
Comedian
"The Improbable Fiction Theatre Company was looking for a place to perform. When we heard
that The Cat and Willie were looking for theatre groups to use the space, we were excited
about the idea of coming to a business agreement. Instead, we found a place we could call
home. We feel truly welcomed by The Cat. It is a place where great friends can perform great
theatre."

"We offer a unique diploma option at our school called the International Baccalaureate (IB)
Diploma which requires the art students in the program to showcase their work at the end of
their time in IB Art. Last year we had a large number of students who took the class, and we
were at a loss as to how to accommodate all of them. Willie Wood and The Cat came to the
rescue. Willie graciously offered us to use his space for a week free of charge. The students
were able to not only set-up their work in a relaxed, collaborative space at the beginning of the
week but also hold an art show that was both professional and artistic at the end of the week.
The students loved the space but more importantly they loved how Willie made them feel
about their work. He was genuinely interested in each student and their intentions behind each
piece they made. He has a gift in how he cares for each individual. I am very grateful for all that
The Cat and Willie Wood have done for Guerin Catholic, my students, and me."

"Finding a home at The Cat for our new theatre company, Approxima Prouctions, has allowed
us the freedom to produce our own shows for the first time in over 20 years of working in
theatre. The Cat's commitment to providing community theatres in central Indiana a high
quality, professional level environment has made a positive impact on not just our acting
company but many performing groups that have no routine access to a performance
space. Having a place available to all performers, producers or directors has created a true
community of artists that can come together to share their ideas, work and entertainment with
audience members of all ages. We will continue to enjoy working with The Cat in coming years
to bring new theatre, little-known scripts and popular plays to life for the Carmel and
Indianapolis communities." Christine Kruze

Testimonials
"Congratulations on The Cat's first birthday! The team at Carmel Theatre Company couldn't be
happier at seeing you reach that milestone. Having managed a community theatre facility
ourselves, we can appreciate the effort, the heart, and the nerves you have put into this new
operation.
Which brings me to the real reason I am writing this letter. THANK YOU! Thank you for the
benefit you have been to the Carmel Arts Community and thank you for what you have so
willingly done for CTC. When our performance space, Studio 15, was demolished, it appeared
to be the end of a long journey for Carmel Repertory Theatre, dba Carmel Theatre Company.
Then you stepped forward to say you had just signed a lease on a concert performance space
that you thought could be turned into a theatre. How bold!
We appreciate the respect you showed our little struggling group, listening to our advice (and
warnings) about the responsibility you were taking on. Your vision of a home for an eclectic mix
of theatre projects was ambitious, but you have succeeded in bringing an opportunity for
success to so many Carmel arts organizations. There are thousands of people in central Indiana
who have enjoyed and learned from shows that would never have been presented without
your work at building and maintaining The Cat.
"The Cat has provided me with incredible opportunities to push myself, stretch my skills, and
leap outside my comfort zone, with the knowledge that there is a supportive community there
to catch me." Emma Rund
Intern — Summer 2017
"When Carmel Community Players lost our lease to our performance space, The Cat went out
of their way to allow us to perform the remainder of our season without major alteration in our
already announced season. They have an outstanding affordable performance space, allowing
our patrons a high -quality experience unmatched in the Carmel area."
Tim Paramore
President
Carmel Community Players
"The Cat has been the newly founded home for our Magic Thread Cabaret series in Carmel. We
are very happy to spotlight and celebrate local central Indiana talent in this gem of a place. The
theatre, and Will Wood, share our passion for developing further performing arts experiences
for the Carmel community. The Cat is special in that it represents a more intimate audience
experience and gives several local or up-and-coming resident companies like us to showcase
our work. Our goal is to uplift the American Songbook through our cabaret series in Carmel.
Without The Cat, we might not even have ended up as part of the Carmel Arts scene. We are
very thankful to The Cat and the support they have given us to produce a very successful first
season!" Dustin Klein
Artistic Director
Magic Thread Cabaret
Testimonial::
"As a resident company of The Cat, Magic Thread Cabaret is delighted to be a part of Will
Wood's vision to showcase artists and performing arts organizations for residents of Carmel and
the surrounding area. The Cat is an ideal location for us to present local performers in an
intimate, urbane and sophisticated setting which is perfect venue for showcasing the cabaret
art form. With its proximity to the Carmel Arts District and the amenities it offers, Magic Thread
Cabaret couldn't be better situated. Partly due to Wood's efficient, professional management,
our first season, thus far has been an unqualified success. We look forward to growing our
brand through our association with The Cat and the bright future that lies ahead for our
organization." Tom Alvarez
Producing Director
Magic Thread Cabaret
"I was an intern for The Cat in the summer of 2018. Interning at the Cat taught me so much
about theatre and live shows. I was a part of many shows which allowed me to connect with
lots of talented people who are in the local theatre community. The Cat allowed me to gain lots
of valuable experience while being in the most positive and friendly environment imaginable. I
love being involved with the Cat because it allows for the production of many quality
performances in our community." Taylor Modory
Intern -Summer 2018
"Let me just start by saying working with The Cat and their volunteer staff was nothing short of
amazing. Willie Wood is truly a wonderful person. I had written my very first stage play and had
no idea what needed to go into getting my play from the paper to the stage. After being told
that another theater in the area could not accommodate me, I called The Cat. Willie told me to
come in and speak with him that same day and the rest was history. Willie not only encouraged
me, but he gave me resources and helped every step of the way. From putting me in touch with
the person who lent me props, to gifting my programs for my very first show. Willie even spent
about 20 mins opening night giving my mom directions over the phone. I am so thankful. I could
not possibly end this without mentioning Gary Coburn. Gary oversees set design and was
another huge reason that my show was so successful. Gary lent me things from his personal
residence just to make sure my set was perfect. After two sold out shows, I am eternally
grateful to Willie and my new friends at The Cat for making my first experience painless and
fun! They took me in from the first day and supported me in a way that exceeded every
expectation." Shandrea V. Funnye
Author, producer and director

"We really appreciate having a place like The Cat in Carmel. Will and his staff have been kind
and generous with their time, and they have provided us with an affordable space for our
