Drama

The Corcoran Association of Student Theatre (commonly referred to as C.A.S.T.) is an extracurricular performing troupe run cooperatively by faculty advisors with the input of a student executive board. The Corcoran Association of Student Theatre prides itself as one of the only high school programs in Central New York to boast a full length theatre season, on par with the offerings of many local community and semi-pro theatres.
