Centre for Asian Theatre (CAT) was the first, and is still the only, professional theatre organisation in Bangladesh. CAT was established in 1994. It is an overall aim of CAT to develop CAT into a full-fledged professional theatre organisation and promote professionalism in the Bangladesh theatre arena at large. This is a long term and multifaceted task in a country where there is no institutional theatre, theatre education is theoretical rather than practical and the many existing theatre groups are amateur groups run on a part-time basis. It requires a focus on theoretical aspects of theatre as well as on theatre practice, and it means creation of theatre productions as well as training.
