About Us

Theatre changes lives and 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 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 addition, we offer two bonus productions, a holiday show in December and a comedy in June. As a 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. 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! Our Student Theatre Guild, an area-wide theatre club, provides theatre education experiences for students age 14 through 18.

Theatre Charlotte is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, with a volunteer board of directors and a staff of 4 full time employees.  Theatre Charlotte provides many volunteer opportunities for performers, backstage workers and ushers.  Our guest directors, designers, choreographers and music directors give these volunteers the opportunity to work with the region’s most talented professionals.

Theatre Charlotte is proud of its heritage and its long-time tradition of production excellence.
