Whether your school comes to see a production, or we bring our award-winning shows and classroom experiences to you, Children’s Theatre of Charlotte is an exciting resource for your students. We offer school field trips to ImaginOn to see all our productions. We also bring the magic of theatre to schools, through our in-school programs or through a performance from our Resident Touring Company. See below for details, plus a chance to receive a grant for a field trip from Target!
 
School performances
Field trips to Children’s Theatre of Charlotte offer professional theatre productions for school audiences. Our home at ImaginOn features two state-of-the art theatres, and all Children’s Theatre of Charlotte productions align with curriculum set forth in the Common Core State Standards and the North Carolina Essential Standards.

With our convenient bus lane and attentive staff members, we make every effort to ensure a safe and smooth field trip experience for every school. Tickets for productions are $9 to $13 per person, which includes North Carolina sales tax. Adults, including teachers, must purchase a ticket, and a minimum of 20 seats must be reserved to qualify for the school group rate.

Touring shows
