| Charles Fee Producing Artistic Director and Director, Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) 2010 marks Charlie’s inaugural season as Producing Artistic Director of Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. This season he directs The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). Charlie holds a unique position in the American theater as Producing Artistic Director of three, independently operated, professional theater companies, including Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, Idaho Shakespeare Festival in Boise, Idaho (since 1991), and Great Lakes Theater Festival in Cleveland, Ohio (since 2002). His leadership has created a dynamic and groundbreaking producing model for the American theater in which plays are shared between the three companies, extending the artistic lives of productions, increasing opportunities for artists to work in multiple venues over longer periods of employment, and resulting in lower production costs for each of the companies. In addition to his work with the festivals in Nevada, Idaho, and Ohio, Charlie is active within the community, having served on the board of the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce, as a member of the Boise Downtown Rotary Club and as a special lecturer at Boise State University. He received his BA from the University of the Pacific, and Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, San Diego.
Charlie shares his peripatetic life with an incredibly supportive family, his wife Lidia and 15 year old daughter, Alexa. |
