Community Theatre Of Greensboro Inc

THE COMMUNITY THEATRE OF GREENSBORO'S MISSION IS TO BRING ITS DIVERSE COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO LEARN ABOUT, EXPERIENCE, AND CELEBRATE THE JOYS OF THEATRE. THE ORGANIZATION'S GOAL IS TO HELP EVERYONE IN ITS COMMUNITY SHARE IN THE EXCITEMENT OF PARTICIPATING IN THEATRE AS ACTORS, BACKSTAGE CREW, OR AUDIENCE MEMBERS. THE ORGANIZATION CHERISHES DIVERSITY, AND NON-TRADITIONAL CASTING IS A PRIORITY. EVERY YEAR, CTG PROVIDES A WIDE ASSORTMENT OF THEATRICAL ENTERTAINMENT.

PRODUCING MAIN-STAGE AND CHILDRENS THEATRE PLAYS. PRODUCING A VARIETY OF MUSICALS AND NON-MUSICAL PLAYS EACH YEAR IS AT THE HEART OF CTG'S MISSION: "BRINGING OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO LEARN ABOUT, EXPERIENCE, AND CELEBRATE THE JOYS OF THEATRE." THE WAY WE BRING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO "EXPERIENCE...THE JOYS OF THEATRE" IS BY PROVIDING OUTSTANDING THEATRE EXPERIENCES FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND BY OUR COMMUNITY. THE ORGANIZATION HAD PARTICIPANTS INVOLVED IN THE PLAYS AND ATTENDANCE REACHED IN EXCESS OF 1,000 PEOPLE. EVERY YEAR WE PROVIDE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PRODUCTIONS THAT APPEAL TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF PERFORMERS AS WELL AS DIFFERENT AUDIENCES. BY STAGING SUCH A WIDE-RANGING SLATE OF SHOWS, WE ARE ABLE TO GROW OUR POOL OF TALENTED PERFORMERS AND BUILD AN EVER-MORE-PASSIONATE CADRE OF THEATRE-GOERS.

OFFERING YOUTH PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THEATRE CLASSES AND SUMMER CAMPSDEVELOPING YOUNG PERFORMERS AND GIVING THEM OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD THEIR SKILLS IS ANOTHER KEY TENET OF OUR MISSION. FROM CTG'S PERSPECTIVE, IT IS IMPERATIVE TO GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE AN OUTLET FOR "LEARNING ABOUT...THE JOYS OF THEATRE." YOUNG PEOPLE WHO TAKE PART IN THE ARTS DO BETTER IN SCHOOL AND GROW INTO STRONGER CITIZENS, ACCORDING TO A RECENT STUDY BY THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS. AND WHEN A YOUNG PERSON BECOMES INVOLVED WITH CTG, HIS OR HER ENTIRE FAMILY BECOMES PART OF THE WIDER CTG FAMILY AND BECOMES INTERESTED IN THEATRE AND IN THE ARTS. THAT'S WHY CTG HAS CONSCIOUSLY EXPANDED OUR YOUTH PROGRAMS OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. IN ADDITION TO "GENERAL INTEREST" CLASSES AND CAMPS, WE NOW OFFER VERY HIGH-LEVEL ACTING AND MUSICAL THEATRE CLASSES AND PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPERIENCED YOUNG PERFORMERS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. MANY OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WERE INTRODUCED TO PERFORMING THROUGH CTG ARE NOW STUDYING ACTING IN COLLEGE AND PERFORMING IN A WIDE VARIETY OF PRODUCTIONS LOCALLY AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
