Teaching Charlotte's youngsters to appreciate the theater, and entertaining them in the process.. The Skinny


This non-profit organization devotes itself to the education and enlightenment of local area children. Mainstay productions like "The Velveteen Rabbit" enchant young spectators, while more issue-oriented plays like "Nobody's Listening!"--part of the theater's Violence Prevention Program--make adolescent audiences think.





More than half of the theater's life has been spent with the Tarradiddle Players, a resident company that tours the Southeast region, playing to captive audiences and receiving rave reviews. The Children's Theatre also works with area schools, providing special performances as well as education classes for young people.

Wonderful theater with long heritage. Children's Theatre provides consistently high quality productions and educational opportunities for children of all ages. The appointment of Alan Poindexter as Artistic Director can only raise this theater to the next level. This theater gave me a creative outlet when I was a teen in Charlotte and I look forward to one day taking my children to their productions.
