Children's Theatre of Charlotte — Attraction in Charlotte

This place presented a wonderful opportunity for my daughter to grow and learn as an artist. She was casted in a couple of lead roles early on here. She had never missed a practice in her entire time here; she was dedicated, respectful and well like by her peers and directors. However, we had a death in the family and needed to travel to Ohio to support our family as the death was unexpected. Our Aunt and uncle had found their 26 yr old son on the couch, who they believed was sleeping all day because he worked the night shift the night before, dead. He had died of asthma complications. My daughter needed to be absent Thursday-Saturday. The Funeral was on Friday and we were returning Sunday. Weekend practice was starting that same week so my daughter would have missed 3 rehearsals. We were told that if she went to the funeral, she would be kicked out of the play. She was never offered another role or anything; then they lied and told her cast that because she couldn't have the lead role anymore, she dropped out of the play. My daughter and my family are humble people, and although she was being punished for a death in our family, she would have continued in the play in any role if given the opportunity. As a matter of fact, the leader ship felt bad for what the Director did to my daughter so they allowed her to attend the cast party and attend all shows for Free of charge. We Absolutely Loved thus place but opted not to return as the person who replaced my daughter missed more days than my daughter needed to for the funeral. Because we did not return, we have been told by several people that every year the Theatre lies on my daughter, about the incident, which is the only reason I'm sharing this story. We have moved on and they are trying to discredit my child's integrity! Are you KIDDING ME?!!! You All should be ashamed of yourself!!! Do not try scare tactics on the children by lying. Also, Charlotte Children's Theatre my number is the same! You are welcome to call me and...

I love this place. My daughter has gone to two semesters of acting now, thanks to their scholarship program, and I just couldn’t be happier w/ her teacher Miss. Regina! Miss Regina is a ray of sunshine and a joy to work with! She has the sweetest heart and u can tell she genuinely loves the kids!! We wish we could do the summer camps too, but even though the scholarship does cover it, the hours begin after I am work and end before I am off. There’s no way a single Mom can do that schedule. Which is my only complaint w/ them. Maybe some time they can do a summer camp for single, working Moms?? Idk, but...
