The Charter Arts Theatre Department is proud to present a season full of mystery and mayhem. We open on October 24th with The Plot, Like Gravy Thickens, by Billy St. John. Inspired by Agatha Christie, the play is a comic and contemporary spin on the classic whodunit, with characters who break the fourth wall and some audience engagement to help solve the case. Our Black Box show opening on November 12th, will be Witches!? In Salem?!, a new play written by Matt Cox – a darkly comic, yet historically accurate take on the Salem Witch trials from the perspective of an 8th grader caught up in a lesson on The Crucible. Our final show in the season, opening on January 30th, is Blithe Spirit, a classic comedy of manners by the esteemed Noel Coward. When a novelist invites a medium to his home to perform a seance as research for a book, she manages to summon the ghost of his first wife, much to his and his second wife’s dismay. It’s sure to be an exciting season full of laughter, drama and compelling stories.
The Charter Arts Theatre Department offers our students and audience the chance to engage with diverse plays from different genres and eras, from brand new works to tried and true classics. We prioritize honing our craft both in-class and on the stage; from our freshmen group projects to our New Plays Festival, students receive comprehensive training along with a multitude of public performance opportunities to share what they’re learning.
