Contemporary American Theatre Company

The Contemporary Theatre Company (CATCO) was created by Geoffrey Nelson, founding Artistic Director, in January 1985. The company formed a board of trustees and incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1986. That fall the company leased warehouse space on Park Street in Columbus Ohio's Short North District and converted it into a theatre. CATCO joined Actors Equity Association in 1995. After producing four shows in Vern Riffe Center’s Studio One theatre in the 1996 – 97 Season, CATCO moved to the Center, becoming its resident company in June 1997. Steven Anderson was named Artistic Director of the company in 2011.
