CAT/CSS — The CAT program started as the “Conejo Afternoon Theatre,” offering the players a chance to produce shows that otherwise might not have been a good fit for the mainstage. The Conejo Second Series (CSS) replaced the CAT program when Sunday evening performances were added. Later, CAT was renamed the Conejo Artists Theatre to continue the tradition of producing shorter-run shows, but not always in the afternoons.

CPCT/CPYT – The CPCT program, or Conejo Players Children’s Theatre, began as a way to bring children and families into the theatre without the high costs associated with other play-for-play options around town. Later, in order to be more inclusive to teens and younger kids, the program was renamed the Conejo Players Youth Theatre in 2019.
