Charles Shelley II Charles is excited to make his Trouper debut in
Pirates, after a small break from community theater to get life in order.
College graduation, marriage, new job and home have all taken a priority,
but the enjoyment form the stage eventually was given a green light once
again. Charles's limited stage appearances include Sir Sagramore, in Camelot
for Musicals at Richter, Capt. Brackett in South Pacific, and
The Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz, both staged by the Congregation
Church Players of New Fairfield. Charles hopes that his tenure with
Troupers will be a long and happy one. He would like to thank his wife
Nicole for all her support, as well as his introduction to Gilbert and
Sullivan and Troupers-she has been a member of the pit orchestra for four
shows, playing Trombone. |
