🎤 CAST ANNOUNCEMENT: Welcome Back, Faith McKinney!

We're excited to welcome Faith back to the stage for Best of Listen to Your Mother – Indy!
For 39 years, Faith has spent her life loving one person with her whole heart: her daughter, Camille.
Camille doesn't speak and uses a wheelchair, so Faith has become her hands, her feet, and her voice. She knows every one of Camille's smiles by heart.

Ask anyone who knows them, and they'll tell you the two are a package deal. Where Faith goes, Camille goes. And Faith wouldn't have it any other way.
But a few years ago, Faith faced a reality that forced her to take a hard look at her own life and what the future might hold for both of them.

What happened next surprised everyone, including Faith herself.
It's a remarkable story about determination, transformation, and just how far a mother will go for her child. And we mean that quite literally.

We're honored to have Faith return to the Listen to Your Mother stage to share this unforgettable journey with us!

Nine years onstage, with so many reasons to applaud!!! 👏🎭

Over the past nine years, we’ve watched first-time performers grow more confident with every rehearsal, seen friendships last long after the curtain closes, and shared plenty of laughs and tears with our audience. You’ve helped make The Cat a place where people feel welcome to try something new and find their people! 😻

Our Nine Lives Curtain Call campaign looks back at the shows, students, artists, and memories you’ve helped make possible. A year-end donation of any amount is your standing ovation for these nine years and helps us keep creating those opportunities for everyone who walks through our doors. 🧡

Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or just found your seat, we’d love your help bringing the next chapter to the stage! Give The Cat a standing ovation ➡️ thecat.ludus.com/donate. 🐾

Looks like someone’s been leaving a few not-so-subtle hints around the house! 🐾

As the year winds down, consider giving back to a place that gives our community room to create. Every gift helps keep the spotlight shining by supporting affordable rehearsal and performance space, youth education through The Drama Department, and teen and adult programming through Carmel Apprentice Theatre. 🎭

Take the hint and donate anytime at thecat.biz, or save the date for Giving Tuesday and add The Cat to your end-of-year giving list. 🧡 Your support keeps the doors open to creativity and gives more people a place to discover what they’re capable of! 🌟

If The Cat has made a difference for you or someone you love, share your story in the comments and help others see what their support can make possible. 💬
