At Penn Charter, students perform as actors and as musicians, they stage manage, design and alter costumes, and support stage production through lighting, sound and set construction. Come see our students in action in the Upper School musical, "The Addams Family," on February 21 and 22. In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, to be sad is to be happy, to feel pain is to feel joy, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams. Nonetheless, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates the focus Lippa, Brickman, and Elice’s musical: the Addams kids are growing up.

For families interested in grades pre-K through 12, looking ahead to 2021-2022, and the remaining spaces for entry in 2020-21. Register in advance, or visit our registration table in the lobby of the Kurtz Center for the Performing Arts to fill out a name tag. The program includes a student-led tour, ample time to meet faculty and visit classrooms, overviews of the academic programs, and lots of opportunities to ask questions of faculty, parents and admissions officers. The admissions process, financial aid and individual questions are addressed in sessions following the tours.
