Meet Charlie Lovett

<p>Charlie Lovett is a noted expert and author on the subject of Lewis Carroll. More recently he has turned toward writing children's plays. He is Writer-in-Residence at Summit School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. 'My philosophy of drama for children has developed over many years' Rather than assuming that children are incapable of understanding certain words and ideas and that they are broadly divided into 'stars' and those who can't act, I assume that children's performances will rise to meet the level of the material they are given and that at the elementary level, all children should be given equal opportunities on stage. My plays for elementary students, therefore, tend to have a fairly even distribution of parts and are filled with humor and cultural allusions that provide learning opportunities for the students and fun for the parents and teachers.' Check back frequently as Charlie blogs about children's theatre, playwriting and anything else that crosses is mind.
