An Important Message

Our country, our citizens, our friends, and our children are suffering right now from bigotry, racism and inequality. Children's Theatre of Charlotte supports and shares the sentiment of our sister organization, Children's Theatre Company of Minneapolis, when they say:

"The killing of George Floyd should never have happened in this community and in this country. Children’s Theatre Company mourns for George Floyd and grieves with the loved ones he left behind, including his 22-year-old and 6-year-old daughters, and 3-year-old granddaughter. We also grieve with our community, as we struggle together to try and make sense of an all-too-common narrative: a black man dying at the hands of a police officer. Our society must never grow indifferent to this heartbreaking, senseless, and reprehensible loss of life."

Children's Theatre of Charlotte is committed to our mission and The Kindness Project that is at the heart of our work. Children have the right to explore the wonder of their world safely and without fear. We must all work together to have sympathy, create empathy, and be kind. Our children deserve a world without fear and worry. They deserve a world without racism and violence. In short, they deserve better.
