CAT Theatre – which earlier this month announced that it would cease operations Oct. 31 because it could not reach agreement to stay in its current venue – will hold a town hall meeting at 6 p.m. to discuss possible options with interested community members. Theater officials have received “an outpouring of concern” from patrons and others in the theater community since the announcement, they said. They have received suggestions of possible new venues but cannot consider those without significant help – both in volunteer and financial form – they wrote in an e-mail to supporters earlier this week. Those interested in attending Friday’s meeting can express that interest by visiting www.facebook.com/events/468983753601177/.
