For Schools

Whether your school comes to see a production, or we bring our award-winning shows and classroom experiences to you, Children's Theatre of Charlotte is an exciting resource for your students.

School Field Trips

Children's Theatre of Charlotte offers weekday performances of our award-winning productions for schools. At a time when many schools are cutting back on arts programs, a trip to CTC is an outstanding opportunity to expose your students to the power and wonder of live theatre and the arts. Additionally, all CTC productions meet specific Language and Theatre Arts Curriculum Standards. Specific curricular ties are detailed in our enhanced Teacher Resource Guides, created for all our productions and many of our Special Events. These free Guides feature creative activities to help support teachers’ lesson plans, and reinforce curricular connections before and after the field trip.

Many schools tell us we provide one of the best values and most professionally run field trip experiences in the region. Our home at ImaginOn features two wonderful performance spaces, the 550-seat McColl Family Theatre and the 250-seat Wachovia Playhouse, convenient parking and other amenities which help field trips go smoothly and efficiently.

Whether you are a long-time attendee, or considering a field trip to Children’s Theatre of Charlotte for the first time, we hope you will join us for an experience your students and teachers will never forget!

In School Programs

Children’s Theatre of Charlotte is dedicated to the idea that drama is an integral part of the human experience.  Our In-School Program offerings are designed to enhance different areas of study, support the curriculum, and achieve an “above and beyond” experience in the classroom.

Goals and objectives for the various programs align with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study (NCSCOC) and give teachers new and exciting ways to bring knowledge to life. Schools often seek funding support for these programs through PTA, private funds, or through a local granting agency such as ArtsTeach. All programs subject to availability.
