Celebrate - Gatsby's Glam Gala

Celebrate! 2025

A Gatsby Glam Gala
Honoring 20 Years of ImaginOn & 77 Years of Children's Theatre of Charlotte
You’re invited to an unforgettable evening of glitz, glamour, and giving as Children’s Theatre of Charlotte celebrates 77 years of inspiring audiences and 20 incredible years at ImaginOn. Step into the elegance of the Roaring Twenties at Celebrate! 2025, a Gatsby-themed gala that blends vintage charm with modern impact.
Indulge in an evening filled with elegant cuisine, specialty themed cocktails, and a dazzling champagne tower. Discover a secret speakeasy, dance the Charleston, and try your luck at games to win prizes. This one-night-only event offers access to an auction where you could own original, in-house artwork and a piece of CTC history, featuring costumes, one-of-a-kind renderings, and more.
All proceeds support CTC’s mission of creating exceptional theatre experiences, fostering educational programs, and expanding community outreach—ensuring that young minds continue to explore the wonder of their world through the arts.
ImaginOn will be transformed into a stunning Jazz Age venue. This night will celebrate CTC’s past, present, and future, while illuminating the vital role of philanthropic investments in the arts. Join us as we raise a glass to history, creativity, and the generations of storytellers yet to come!
