Charlie Berger
From a young age, Charlie started performing and crackin’ jokes. Whether it was dancing up and down the aisles in a Target to make his grandmother laugh, or hot takes at the lunch table to make his friends engage in silly topics, Charlie always worked to point out the absurd in everyday life.
At the Boston University School of Theater, Charlie explored how to engage with the serious acting training as a comedic actor, constantly looking for new ways to experiment with the pedagogy.
One of those ways was falling in love with the art of directing. Directing has challenged him to shift focus to the entire story, rather than focusing on a single role. Participating in the new works festival under the mentorship of playwright Kirsten Greenidge, Charlie helped develop seven new plays written by his peers, ending with directing a play in the Booth Theater, for which he was awarded the Milan Stitt New Works Award for achievement in directing.
Charlie is now based in NYC, where he is currently focused on comedy. Improv, Sketch, and Stand up all excite him to experiment with and he’s always down for an indie show or a new idea to brainstorm!
