Theatre Charlotte, Charlotte's community theatre, has been changing lives since 1927. Our mission is to create outstanding theatre opportunities relevant to the people of the Charlotte region. We are committed to making theatre relevant in the lives of more people by demonstrating that theatre engages, inspires and unites community. We fulfill this commitment through our programming and other initiatives. Our Main Stage Series consists of five productions selected for their broad-based community appeal. In partnership with Vito Abate, we present a monthly themed reading and performance series called just do it, ' which provides an outlet for area performers, writers, singers, filmmakers, musicians and dancers. We have established a holiday tradition with our annual production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Our 24 Hour Theatre Project is a unique event in which six ten-minute plays are written, cast, rehearsed and presented to an audience all within 24 hours! Additional programming includes a New Year's Eve Celebration, a murder mystery dinner theatre ( Wine, Chocolate and Murder ), Junior Cabaret showcasing the talent of young people, ages 8-18 and a musical movie series, where the audience can sing along to such movies as Rocky Horror Picture Show and Grease. Theatre Charlotte also sponsors the Student Theatre Guild, a city-wide theatre club for teens, ages 14-18. Theatre Charlotte is a non-profit 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) organization, with a volunteer board of directors and a paid staff of 3 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee. Through our Main Stage and Stage 501 series, Theatre Charlotte provides many volunteer opportunities for performers, backstage workers and ushers, while guest directors, designers, music directors, choreographers and musicians are hired on a per show basis. Auditions for Theatre Charlotte productions are open to anyone in the Charlotte region. As the oldest continuously producing community theatre in North Carolina, Theatre Charlotte is proud of its heritage and its long-time tradition of production excellence.
