What they do
CHARLESTON PLAYHOUSE SUPPORTS THE PRINCIPLES of DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, and ACCESSIBILITY IN ITS PROGRAMMING CHOICES, COLOR-CONSCIOUS CASTING DECISIONS, and EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES. OUR ARTISTIC AIM is to PROVIDE QUALITY THEATRE EXPERIENCES THAT TELL STORIES WITH FIDELITY, and TRANSPARENCY. CERTAIN STORIES REQUIRE THE ABILITY to CALL UPON THE LIFE EXPERIENCES of PERFORMERS WHO CAN FAITHFULLY PORTRAY A CHARACTERS INDIVIDUAL ABILITY, ETHNIC BACKGROUND, or CULTURAL EXPRESSION; WHEN THESE INSTANCES ARISE, WE WILL ACT WITH RESPECT and CONSIDERATION for ALL INVOLVED STAKEHOLDERS. WE CHOOSE PROGRAMMING REFLECTIVE of OUR DESIRE to SHARE WORKS WITH THE PUBLIC THAT REPRESENT THE CURIOSITIES, INTERESTS, and NARRATIVES of OUR SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. OUR PRODUCTION CASTING is CULTURALLY DIVERSE BY DESIGN, BRINGING TOGETHER A BLEND of COLLABORATIVE HUMANITY THAT BENEFITS THE COMPANY, AUDIENCE, and THE CHARLESTON ARTS COMMUNITY. FINALLY, IT VALUES ARTISTIC LEADERSHIP THAT is EQUITABLE for ALL.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
