A New Chapter for CAT.

Chamberlayne Actors Theatre extends its heartfelt gratitude to Charles Wax as he steps down as President of our Board of Directors.

Charles joined CAT’s board eight years ago, but his connection to the theatre reaches back to the 1990s as an actor and technician. He assumed leadership during a time when CAT’s future was uncertain, guided by a clear purpose: to help preserve the theatre he loved.

Through the challenges of COVID, the loss of our former home, several years of uncertainty, and our eventual arrival at the historic Hanover Tavern, Charles helped guide CAT toward a stronger and more secure future. His dedication, leadership, and belief in CAT have played an essential role in bringing us to where we are today.

Although Charles is stepping away from the presidency, we are delighted that he plans to continue serving on the board and supporting CAT as we evolve and grow.

Charles, thank you for your years of service, your steady leadership, and your commitment to preserving CAT. It has truly been an honor to have you at the helm.

We are also pleased to announce that Zack Owen will become the next President of the Chamberlayne Actors Theatre Board of Directors. We look forward to this new chapter under Zack’s leadership and to continuing CAT’s long tradition of presenting engaging, professionally produced theatre for audiences throughout the Richmond region.
