WHY PORCH?
Since Porch Productions Inc. was founded in 2011, it has been our mission to spread diversity and inclusivity in Charlotte Youth Theatre. By partnering with Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, we are able to provide a gateway for students into the theatrical arts, often leading to involvement in our year-round productions. Through collaborations with Blumenthal Performing Arts we provide cast members with opportunities to work with professional theatre artists and crew. This partnership ensures a high level of professionalism and quality in all of our productions.
