“The Nicest Kids In Town” by Associate Artistic Director Marybeth Clark

Now that WEST SIDE STORY has ended and rehearsals for FRANKENSTEIN have started, we are also getting ready for our annual black tie gala. October 2nd 400 of Charleston Stage’s faithful supporters will enjoy an evening of fine dining with dinner prepared by many of Charleston’s finest chefs. There will be a live auction featuring amazing trips and one of a kind items (see our web for a sneak peek and even get your bid in early). The theme for the evening is “A Night On The Red Carpet” and our Resident Actors will perform songs and dances from your favorite musicals that have made it to the silver screen. Our high school performance troupe, Broadway Express, spent a Saturday learning the mashed potato, the monkey, the pony and the twist so they can join in a number from the Broadway hit, HAIRSPRAY. We will also feature members of our middle school troupe, KidStage, and some of the cast of our summer show, DISNEY’S HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. There will be over 40 students performing and that is only about a third of the students who we work with each week. Come enjoy the show and a great evening!
