Students audition for parts at the beginning of the month and participate in rehearsals from 12:45–4:00 pm, Monday through Thursday, to collaborate on Broadway-style musicals that show for five performances at the end of the fourth week.
Recent productions include Peter Pan, God-spell, The Wizard of Oz, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and Seussical the Musical.
KAT occasionally produces both new and original musicals, such as its 2002 production of A You & Me World, Hope Is Like a Feather (2007), and the recurring Mail to the Chief (2000 and 2004).
Performances take place in the school's cafeteria or lobby area, which undergoes major transformations to become the chosen production's setting.
In 2003, Artistic Director Dr. Trish Lindberg received the National Youth Theater Director of the Year Award from the American Alliance for Theater and Education (AATE) and was named the Plymouth State University Distinguished Teacher of the Year (2003) and one of New Hampshire's Most Remarkable Women by New Hampshire Magazine.
Written and conceived by Dr. Trish Lindberg, the production was based on the writings of American children to the next president.
