The Share the Stars program was designed to expose children in need to the unique American art form of musical theatre. We believe that the power and magic of the stage offers hope and possibility to area youth, particularly those who are in search of self-esteem and positive role models.

Individuals, foundations and corporations can participate in this exciting program that offers complimentary balcony seats to matinee performances for our main stage productions. For every three $20 tickets purchased, the North Carolina Theatre will donate one, providing a lifetime memory for a child. The donor’s name will be acknowledged in the playbill.

For larger contributions, children benefit as follows:
$500 admits 25 children
$1,000 admits 50 children
$2,500 admits 125 children
$5,000 admits 250 children

Organizations that have received Share the Stars tickets include Building Together, Communities in Schools, Dorothea Dix Hospital, Haven House, Loaves and Fishes, Methodist Home for Children, Oak Ranch, Passage Home, Ronald McDonald House, and Step Up Ministry.

“Thank you so much for donating tickets to…Beauty and the Beast. All 40 tickets were quickly spoken for! It’s wonderful that North Carolina Theatre is willing to make such donation and to give people who would not otherwise have the chance, an opportunity to experience the magic of the arts.” – Faith Outreach Coordinator, Urban Ministries of Wake County

“Thank you immensely for the ticket donations to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat…I cannot express to you enough how wonderful this opportunity was for our clients. Not only are such outings fun, but they also help build self-esteem and self-confidence. Thank you for playing such an instrumental role in their holistic treatment.” –Community Relations Coordinator, Dorothea Dix Hospital
