The History of CaAPA

The Catholic Stage Guild is founded. The aim of the Guild was to “encourage spiritual, artistic and social intercourse among Catholics connected with the theatrical and allied professions”

The Interval Club, for Catholic artists in the theatre, was established with the help of profits from the Guild’s Sunday night and matinee performances at the Westminster Theatre

Following a war-time hiatus, Annual galas took place at the London Coliseum and at the Drury Lane Theatre.  These events, together with premieres of new concert works and play readings in various venues around the country, helped raise money for charity

The Catholic Stage Guild, now CaAPA, celebrates its 100th Aniversary. The celebrations culminated with a magnificent Gala Concert on the 29th of September 2011 at the Westminster Cathedral Hall. In total, people’s generosity reached the amount of £1,123.55
