_________________________________________
Formerly Off the Cuff, the Black Cat Theatre was founded in London in 1984 with a comissioned work by English playwright, Peter Kenvyn, entitled LOSING TRACKS, which then moved to New York City. Off the Cuff continued to produce new plays in New York for the next seven years before founding Bonhicket Repertory Theatre in Charleston, SC. It was during this time that the non-for-profit outreach wing, called Piwacket Theatre for Children, was formed.
Off The Cuff reached St. Louis in 1992 with a Theatre Bar Series at the Sheldon Concert Hall and a Mainstage Series in Chesterfield with performances of MURDER BY THE BOOK, Agatha Christie's THE MOUSETRAP, DEATHTRAP, and Tony Stoppard's Tony Award Winner THE REAL THING, among many others. As the company moved into the city, Off The Cuff collaborated with The St. Louis BLack Repertory Company for 4 years presenting a New Play Series at the Grandel Theatre. Leopold Szor's world premiere holocaust play, THE TRUE MESSIAH, New Play Series winner in 1997, was produced at the JCCA and Washington University.
Finally, after many years, The Black Cat Theatre has found its first permanent home in a 130 seat, New York cabaret style theatre in Maplewood, MO. Here the company will continue to provide quality professional entertainment to children and adult audiences through the production of Piwacket, Cabaret and Mainstage Theatre, classes, camps, residencies, and special events.
So come out and enjoy the stage with us!
