Matthews Playhouse is thrilled to announce that we have been selected as a 2024 Knight Art + Tech Expansion Fund recipient, an initiative by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation that supports Charlotte artists and arts organizations by providing the tools to integrate technology into their work.
As we continue to expand our offerings and prepare to celebrate our 30th Anniversary during the upcoming 2025-2026 season (to be announced in late spring/early summer), this support comes at the perfect time.
"This investment by Knight Foundation will have a lasting impact and help us elevate the quality of our productions and support local artists," says Matthews Playhouse Executive Director, Sarah Baumgardner. "By funding our productions and educational programs, this ensures we can continue to provide diverse, high-quality theatrical experiences that entertain, educate, and inspire our community."
