Our dreams came true in Season 95! Theatre Charlotte finally reopened the doors to our home on Queens Road. We squeezed six fantastic productions into a condensed season schedule. Audiences filled our new seats night after night. And cast and crew created magic on stage once again.
This season we’re eager to continue making dreams come true for our community. Season 96 features seven shows designed to inspire, amuse, illuminate, and entertain. To bring our community together with meaningful and relevant stories. To take you over the rainbow and lead you safely back home.
We hope you’ll follow your dreams to our stage and join us for Season 96!
By L. Frank Baum

OCT - NOV 2023
By Ken Ludwig
Get your deerstalker cap on the play’s afoot! From the award-winning mastermind of mayhem, Ken Ludwig, comes a fast-paced comedy mystery that takes us from Baker Street to the haunted Dartmoor. Join Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson as they try to escape a dizzying web of clues, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than 40 characters in a “perfect mix of slapstick and thrills for the entire family." (Theatermania)
Holiday classic adapted by Julius Arthur Leonard
From the novel by Charles Dickens
Celebrating its 17th year as Theatre Charlotte’s holiday tradition! Travel the streets of London with the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future as they work to warm old Ebenezer Scrooge’s heart as well as ours.
By Neil Simon
Four couples experience a severe attack of farce when they gather to celebrate one of the couple's tenth wedding anniversary. Bursting with scandal, mystery, and of course, sidesplitting humor, this Neil Simon comedy "has nothing on its mind except making the audience laugh!" (The New York Times).
By Katori Hall
Presented as a TC+ experience in the intimacy of our lobby.
The Mountaintop imagines what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s last night on Earth might have been. After delivering one of his most memorable speeches, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages outside. When he orders room service, a young maid arrives with a revelation that calls Dr. King to confront unwelcome truths. It’s a conversation about divergent paths of legacy, and how sometimes a great man is also human.
By Ray Kennedy
Three generations of women gather for cards and conversation in a small NC town in the summer of 1970. The hot topic of this Thursday night is the news that desegregation has come to La Grange public schools. Typically a silent witness, the family’s Black housekeeper finally shares her hand, revealing the effects of racism embedded in tradition. With a Steel Magnolias feel, this new work blends thought-provoking drama with witty southern comedy.
Music by Tom Kitt
Book and Lyrics by Brian Yorkey
From the outside, they’re just a normal family. But inside, it’s anything but. In this 2010 Pulitzer Prize-winner, a suburban household copes with crisis and the unpredictability of a mother's worsening bipolar disorder. Using wry humor, brutal honesty, and a powerful Tony Award-winning contemporary rock score, Next to Normal deals with how far two parents will go to keep their family’s world intact. Nothing has to be perfect, just Next to Normal.
