The Curtain will Rise Again...

It’s hard.

Our world…and our lives…have been upended by something over which we have no control. We were thrust, nearly overnight, into circumstances that have forced us to change and adapt and rethink nearly all aspects of our daily life.
Homes have become schools, workplaces and recreation centers. Pandemonium and peace have learned to co-exist. Connections to others, be it extended family, friends and colleagues, now take extra effort. Old habits give way to new methods. Our lens for life is morphing daily.

This has certainly been the case for our team here at your Children’s Theatre. Performances were abruptly canceled. Education programs closed or retooled. We can no longer conduct activities that are fundamental to what theatre is designed to do: Bring people together to form a community. To experience storytelling. To find joy. To feel empathy. To have our assumptions challenged. To be inspired to be kind.

While much lingers in uncertainty, our goal is very clear. The long-term sustainability of our theatre and the care of our incredible team have been and will remain our focus.

It’s a time for hope and healing .

We are more resilient than we could have imagined. We do our best to deal with the present and turn our sights to what the future may hold. We take greater heart in the things we are guilty of taking for granted: A meal at a local restaurant. Visiting family and friends. Our choice of toilet paper and cleaning products on the shelves at a well-stocked grocery store.

So when the world becomes a gentler place, the curtain will rise again at Children’s Theatre of Charlotte. We await this time with great anticipation because it is through the power of theatre that we feed our collective need to imagine, create and serve.

How can you help ?

Keep believing that theatre for young audiences adds a vital dimension to their lives.

Make plans to join us as soon as we are able to resume programming. Bring friends along to share a performance or introduce them to a theatre education experience.

Our organization has been financially pummeled with substantial revenue losses which will continue to take its toll in the months ahead. If your circumstances permit, please make a gift today to bring your Children’s Theatre back. Each and every financial investment paves the pathway for us to be together again. We can’t wait.
