A HUGE thank you to our wonderful audiences who support us by coming to see our shows and finally to each and every member of CAYT who all shine in different ways. It takes a team to make a show and supporting each other means we can celebrate these fantastic individual wins, but without that support they just wouldn’t be possible.
