Described by Kelly Minner-Bickert, the school\u2019s Artistic Director of Theatre- rumor and reputation play a large part in Sheridan\u2019s comedy of manners, in which gossip is wielded like a weapon. Gossip Mongers gather to plot and celebrate the triumphs of their lies, and the misfortunes of their targets. But who will have the last laugh?<\/p>\n

Minner-Bickert shares: \u201cThis piece was specifically chosen because it really highlights a large cast who get to play unforgettably diverse and hilarious characters. This season we also really focused on producing\u00a0 plays that highlight different genres and time periods we study in our curriculum so that our students have a chance to apply what they are learning in the classroom to the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evening performances January 26 & 27 at 7 PM. Matinee performance January 28 at 2 PM.\u00a0 Tickets are $6-$11 and are available for purchase online at CharterArts.org.<\/p>\n

Classes are designed to encourage students to create imaginative and compelling characters, to regard their voices and bodies as creative instruments, to expose them to theatrical literature and to instill in them a sense of respect and professionalism for the art form that will stay with them throughout their lives.<\/p>\n
