WELCOME
TO OUR 2018-2019 SEASON'S
SPRING PROGRAM
As we continue our fourth season since
the renovated and transformed Charleston
Gaillard reopened, we continue to strive
toward the inspired vision of Martha
Rivers Ingram, the Honorable Mayor Joe
Riley, Jr., and the Charleston City Council.
Building on the foundation established by
the countless individuals who gave to the
capital campaign led by The Gaillard Performance Hall Foundation, we provide a special
place featuring world-class performances and educational outreach for every citizen of
the Lowcountry. The Gaillard Center team of talented and enthusiastic employees and
volunteers work each day to make your experience exceptional.
The Charleston Gaillard Center’s Education Initiative has provided arts education to
over 90,000 Lowcountry students both at the Gaillard Center and in 180+ classrooms in
the Lowcountry since our reopening three years ago. Our Education Initiative brings to
life a magical world. Students explore their imaginations, stretch their limits, and learn
through innovative programs, school-series shows, incredible teaching artists, and inschool
programs designed to complement the state curriculum. Our 2018-2019 e orts
continue to support our region’s standards with a focus on improving reading skills. I
would like to thank our corporate sponsors who advertised in this program. I urge you
to support these businesses.
The Charleston Gaillard Center is a non-pro t organization that relies on your support.
I urge you to get involved by donating, becoming a member, volunteering – or better
yet, doing all three! Details on these opportunities can be found on our website at
gaillardcenter.org.
I look forward to greeting many of you this season for the rst time or to personally
welcome you back.
Sincerely,
Stephen A. Bedard
President and CEO
