10.  Will my name be printed in Carolina Theatre publications?

Yes, unless you ask us not to print your name.

11.  How will my name be listed in the Carolina's publications?

Your name will be listed under the appropriate membership level and written as you indicated. If you did not make a special request then your name will be listed as commonly written. For example: John and Mary Smith.

12.  What if I don’t want my name in the Carolina's publications?

If you tell us you would like to be anonymous, we will not print your name.

13.  Why would my name not be listed in the Carolina's publications, or be listed in the incorrect category?

The program guide is printed twice a year and lists all donors from the previous year. The donor list in the annual report includes all donors from the year of the report. The donor list in the Spring Encore lists all donors who have given to this fund year up to the date we send the document to the printer. Although we do our best to run the list as late as possible, there is always a chance that some names will not make it. If your name is listed in the wrong category, your membership status probably changed after the list was generated.
