Addressing Mental and Social Wellness
A touring production for your studentsChildren’s Theatre of Charlotte, in partnership with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, educators, and students have developed a theatrical production that will tour every CMS 3rd Grade class during the 2023-24 school year. This production, entitled Show of Hands , features the ideas and experiences of current 3rd Grade students which have been artfully crafted into an Experiential Theater Play, an interactive genre of theatre.
Meet the Playwright

“The plays we create are intended to be both entertaining and educational, featuring immersive, participatory storytelling. When our young audiences enter the theater, they are transported into a different world, guided by our actors and their own imaginations. While in that world, they are invited to participate as co-creators of a unique artistic performance.”
More About the Show
We invite you to become a part of this production which explores how 3rd Grade students feel in this post-pandemic moment. The play explores the challenges and joys of being a 3rd Grader in Charlotte and offers current students the opportunity to envision a brighter future.To book a performance for your CMS 3rd Grade class, contact: Madia Medico, Front & Center Touring Coordinator, 704-973-2838
