The Virginia Samford Theatre’s award-winning arts literacy initiative, STARS (Students Take A Role at the Samford), presents the hit broadway musical CATS. Designed for middle and high school student audience, the STARS program features young performers under the advisory of Alabama Teacher of the Year and Troy University theatre professor, Roy Hudson.

Based on the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, CATS tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer. A true musical theatre phenomenon, CATS opened at London's New London Theatre on May 11, 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. CATS's London success was nearly matched on Broadway where it ran at the Wintergarden Theatre for just over 18 years.
