New Plays Festival at Charter Arts
The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) Theatre Department and Production Arts Department present the 2026 New Plays Festival (NPF) on Friday, May 29 at 7 PM.
This annual festival is an artistic endeavor in the school’s theatre curriculum featuring four plays written, directed, and performed by upperclassmen theatre students and designed by production arts students. The event brings together skills acquired in script writing, directing and acting classes as students fully take on the challenges of creating new works for the stage.
This year's selected plays are:
BRAINS NOT INCLUDED by Savannah Springer: It's 1988 and a group of flighty teens have planned a girls’ weekend at a cabin in the woods, but the party is crashed by more than one unexpected guest.
THE FAMILY DINNER by Alexandria Hutton: When Grandma Bon Bon announces that she's going to leave all her money to the one member of the family that impresses her the most, a family dinner devolves into a chaotic competition.
DOMINOES by Tzariah Manns: Fiona cautions her friends not to open an old book with supernatural properties, but when Sam doesn't listen, it sets off a series of unexplained disappearances.
PIZZA MISSION by Amiere Gray: Try as he might, Mikey can't beat his new video game, but with the help of his best friend, he gets his head out of the game just long enough to finally crack it.
Charter Arts’ Artistic Director of Theatre, Kelly Minnner- Bickert shares: “This year's New Plays Festival promises a wide variety of content and characters. Our students have come up with clever, comical ways to find inspiration in the world around them and bring their ideas to life on stage. This is a collaboration we are incredibly proud of as our junior and senior theatre majors partner with the production arts majors to create an evening of new work that's sure to be entertaining and unforgettable.”
Tickets are $14 Adult, $8 Student/Child. Purchase online at CharterArts.org.
