The final quarter at the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts is filled with per-formances galore. Charter Arts’ students are excited to close the year with a big bang! April marks the beginning of the end of a great year. Here are the events occurring throughout the end of the year.

The theatre department closes their season with their final MainStage show, “Evita,’ which showcases performers from almost every single department here at Charter Arts. The show runs April 13-17, and is almost entirely sold out. This will probably be the biggest musical Charter Arts has ever had the pleasure to put on.

April 28 is the annual play readings at Godfrey Daniels, marking the beginning of the process for Charter Art’s New Play Festival. New Play Festival features original plays by a select number of senior theatre majors and is designed by junior theatre majors. The festival will take place May 23.

The dance department has many huge performances coming up well. April 29-30, Young Choreographers in Concert will take place. This particular performance is entirely choreographed by the senior dance majors. It represents the culmination of all the years they have spent here at Charter Arts. Then, May 20-21, Dance Quilt will go up. Finally, June 3, a special Alumni Dance concert will be hosted.

The vocal and instrumental departments are busy this last quarter. For the instrumental department, April 21 An Evening of Guitar performance, and April 26 is the Chamber Ensembles Concert. May 4 is the Night of Percussion, and May 18 is the Charter Arts Big Band concert. May 9-10, the vocal department will have its Spring Concert. Subsequently, May 11-12 is when the Spring Instrumental Concert will be presented. The final Songwriter’s Cafe of the year will be May 19. The figure skating department has their “Color My World” show on May 7. The Scholastic Arts Awards will take place April 24.
