CATS is Coming to Liberty—But It’s Not What You Think

If you’ve scrolled through local social media lately, chances are you’ve seen the name CATS pop up again… and again. No, not the Broadway musical or your neighbor’s tabby—it stands for Catskill Arts & Theatre Space, and it’s tied to an effort to revive one of Sullivan County’s most iconic buildings: the Liberty Theatre.
