North Carolina Theatre, the region’s premiere nonprofit professional theatre, is pleased to announce it will donate more than $27,000 to World Central Kitchen (WCK), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization working on the ground in eastern North Carolina providing disaster relief for victims of Hurricane Florence. NC Theatre’s cast of In the Heights spearheaded efforts to collect spare change from Raleigh audiences who attended the week of performances Oct. 16-21 at Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts.  

“As North Carolina’s professional theatre, we felt compelled to give back to our community in this tough time,” said Melanie Doerner, NC Theatre’s Director of Development. “Our incredible cast of In the Heights was so dedicated to collecting donations after each performance, even setting a goal of $96,000 which is a nod to one of the show’s musical numbers, “96,000”. I could not be more proud of North Carolina Theatre and our generous patrons who continue to support our neighbors across the state.”
 
WCK is an organization that through a network of chefs works to enact change and develop solutions to hunger and poverty, and its mission has expanded to feed those affected by natural disasters. WCK most recently activated Chefs for Carolinas to prepare hot, fresh meals for evacuee shelters and first responders in the wake of Hurricane Florence. With the help of local chefs, culinary students, and over 5,000 community volunteers, WCK is proud to have served over 300,000 meals from five kitchens and ten food trucks delivering to 150 locations. The mission has continued even after the storm’s passing, as WCK continues to support recovery by providing meals to New Bern, Wilmington, and Lumberton and supplies to the community kitchen of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina.
