WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT CTG:
"To All at CTG - I wanted to let you know that my daughter came to audition on Tuesday night for the BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. I want to say all of the people involved in your theatre organization from the ladies signing us in, to the actors and actresses that had been doing this for years, to the choreographer to Mitchel....what a nice group of people that truly cared for each other and helped us to understand the process. We show horses and travel all throughout the Eastern part of the US and I can only equate our experience on Monday and Tuesday evening to what we enjoy so much in the horseshow business, there is such a family atmosphere and kindness of people to help each other. Bravo to all of you and thank you for taking your time to help us and others enjoy what could have been such a stressful situation.
We enjoyed our experience and appreciate all that you all do for our community."

LAST BUT NOT LEAST
A huge thanks to the Tannebaum-Sternberger Foundation for their grant of $10,000. This exceptional gift allowed CTG to reach out to the Triad's minority families through-out the upcoming year.
CTG is proud to have been chosen by American Express as a recipient of an extremely generous gift of $10,000 to help underwrite all of the programs CTG brings to the children of the Triad, specifically involving our annual production of WIZARD.
CTG also thanks American Express employees for an additional $700 employee's gift grant.
CTG has received $5,000 from The Community Foundation of Greensboro to help fund our exciting new offering for area seniors, SRO (Seniors Reaching Out). The Community Foundation has been a long-time partner with CTG in making many of its important offerings possible.
An incredible gift of $10,000 from The Cemala Foundation and an additional $2,500 from The Hillsdale Foundation have been received to update CTG's computer and phone systems. The funds have been severly needed and are greatly appreciated.
$1500 has been donated by UAC's Grassroots to help CTG continue its free drama after-school classes, partnering with Guilfod County Middle Schools.
Thanks to Target for a generous gift of $10,000 to help underwrite CTG's special school performances of The Wizard of Oz. UAC's Grassroots grant of $1,000 also helped this worthy program.
The Greensboro Jaycees have helped make CTG's "Greatest Hits" CD a reality. Their generous gift of $500 helped with production costs.
From the CTG family, best wishes for a happy & safe fall.
