We want to create a strong company of local artists that value professional standards of production and work with us to produce stories that center traditionally underrepresented communities.Ĭommon Thread would not be achievable without generous funding from the Bacca Visiting Artist and Scholar Program and the Clark Ross Academic Innovation Fund. Ĭommon Thread Theatre Collective (CTTC) will create bold, fresh theatre that engages with our Lake Norman and wider Charlotte communities in an intentional and provocative way around inclusive stories of contemporary relevance. Perhaps the most unique and exciting aspect of the new company is the artistic partnership with members of the North Carolina A&T University faculty, Greg Horton and Donna Baldwin-Bradby. A brand new, professional theatre is coming to the Charlotte area! The Davidson College Theatre Department is sponsoring the creation of a professional summer theatre on the Davidson campus – Common Thread Theatre Collective.
