Children's Theatre
Since 1954, the Charity League of Lexington's Children’s Theatre has been bringing a free, live theatre production to the children of Davidson County and surrounding areas. League members direct, produce, costume, work back stage, schedule for the schools, and act in all the roles (even the male parts) the show chosen for each year. Performances are held in the beautiful Edward C. Smith Civic Center. Almost 8,000 children and adults have the opportunity to see performances each year during approximately fourteen daily performances. There is also at least one public performance, which is open to the public free of charge. Traditionally, these events take place during the months of January and February. Often this is the first live theatre production many of these children have seen. These performances are made possible through our fundraising projects such as Holiday House, Holiday House Shoppes, and the Adult Clothing Sale, but also through grants from organizations such as the North Carolina Arts Council, and donations from individuals and businesses.
