Scaredy Kat Presents

Have you ever had a panic attack? They can cripple you on the spot. Meet Kathryn. She’s dealt with these attacks since she was a child. Desperate not to allow them to take over, she focuses on her favourite thing in life: making movies. A young aspiring stop-motion filmmaker with big dreams, she’s determined to make them all come true. Problem is, the figurines she’s building for her movie project keep falling apart—just like her confidence. A world-class overthinker, she’s a “scaredy Kat” who keeps the world at a distance in order to protect herself. 

Until new schoolmate Nadia comes into frame. Nadia is bold, artsy, and everything Kathryn is seemingly not. Together, they might just be able to make the film work—if only Kathryn can work up the courage to give this friendship a chance.

From the producers of Brainstorm and Third Man Syndrome, Scaredy Kat Presents is a big-hearted story about taking risks, making art, and learning to fly even when you’re afraid of falling.

Including elements of puppetry and stop-motion animation, Gateway Arts brings you a wonderfully imaginative play that invites young audiences and families—and anyone who’s ever been afraid—to find the confidence to spread their wings.
