THE FALL 2024 SEASON
The Charter Arts Theatre Department is excited to present a series of original works written by new and seasoned professional playwrights as part of 2024-2025 theatre season. Playing host to these premieres is an important and distinct honor for a high school theatre program. Artistic Director, Kelly Minner-Bickert shares: “We pride ourselves on offering something that is different from other high school theatre programs in the Lehigh Valley. In addition to the extensive training they receive here our students are given the rare opportunity to work with playwrights, composers and other artists at the forefront of the theatre movement in the creation of new works.”
The department will also engage alumni performers, directors and artists this year as part of its Alumni Artist-in-Residence program. “The creation of this program was to keep our alumni connected to Charter Arts and to reinforce with our current students that they will always have a home here with us. We demonstrate that we value artistry and we want to instill in our young artists that when they reach a certain skill level of mastery in their art they have a right to be celebrated and paid for their contributions as professional artists.”
