Students are taught skills related to musical theatre and also learn tools to help build confidence, work with others, speak in front of large groups of people and learn to appreciate all aspects of theatre arts.

Theatre Charlotte’s education programs exist to provide young people with high-quality theatre experiences led by theatre professionals committed to fulfilling Theatre Charlotte’s mission, vision, and core values.
In addition to creating programs in line with Theatre Charlotte’s core values, our education programs exist to:
Provide a safe place where youth can freely create and be themselves. A place that is inclusive and free from bias and discrimination.
Highlight the human experience through theatre. We believe that the arts are essential and an indispensable part of the human experience.
Learn from each other. Everyone we work with knows something we don’t. We ask questions to further our understanding. The more we share, the better outcome for us all.
Lift up one another. People need to be cared for and supported in order to do their best work. Everyone we encounter through our programs is worthy of being treated with respect and dignity.
Grow and change. We believe that the current way of doing things can be reimagined and improved. We can grow not just as artists, but as human beings. We can make a difference, especially when given the space to take creative risks.
