Why Support Actor’s Theatre?

Challenging, Thought-Provoking, and Cutting-Edge Theatre Isn’t CHEAP!

The mission of the Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte is to present, in an intimate environment, BOLD and INNOVATIVE new works by contemporary playwrights who share our respect for language and humanity.

The 2007-2008 Season marks our 19^th anniversary of producing live, professional theatre in Charlotte.  In this Award-Winning season, ATC seeks to fill a gap for Charlotte theatre-lovers who have become accustomed to Off-Broadway style fare—without sacrificing quality. 

Although the 2006-2007 season was a record-breaking year for attendance and ticket sales, presenting new, challenging theatrical works comes with a considerable cost. 

Ticket sales alone are not enough to support our mission and cover costs.  As a non-profit organization, we strive to increase Box Office income, rental income from our building and foundation and grant assistance, but the shortfall must come from donors like YOU!

2006-2007 Season Income Breakdown:

Ticket Sales                         38%
Foundations/Grants*          20%
Other                                   12%
Individuals (YOU!)              30%
Total                                    100% 

*includes grants from the Arts & Science Council and the North Carolina Arts Council
