On the stage, she has been featured as Gospel in Finding Silence (The Chain Theatre), Cedric/Mr. Voldy in Puffs (Proxymoron Productions; Queen City Nerve’s Best Local Theatre Production, Best in the Nest 2022), and Tilly in She Kills Monsters (Charlotte’s Off-Broadway; Queen City Nerve’s Best Comedic Theatrical Production, Best in the Nest 2022).

Charlie graduated from Christopher Newport University with a B.A in Musical Theatre and a Minor in Dance. They are a major advocate for better representation of the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalized groups on the stage. More than anything else though, Charlie loves to make people laugh!
“Charlie was SUCH a powerful presence in the intensive and in many ways centered the rest of the class (the younger and older students). Charlie was so open during the intensive, game to try anything, and always excelled in whatever they chose to do. Charlie’s voice is extremely strong and their acting chops are in a great place. At 23, Charlie has a mature energy that draws us in. They are extremely self-aware and exude confidence. We know if Charlie continues giving 100%, they will go VERY far in this business!”
