The Broken Window by Diane Wagner at Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts

The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) Theatre Department will present The Broken Window, written and directed by Diane Wagner, October 20-22, 2023.  

The original play is written and directed by Wagner, who has been a theatre faculty member at the school since 2003 and has written various works including her novel, The Almighty Father, which was a finalist for the Foreword Reviews Indie Book of the Year in 2020.   

The Broken Window production features an exceptional cast of young actors, crew and designers. Professional design credits include: set and lighting design by Ellen Schmoyer, costume design by Amy Handkammer, and sound design by Carlo Acerra.

The plot centers around a group of former friends who find the same note in their lockers telling them to go to an abandoned house in the middle of the night. They all show up, against their better judgment, and each admits to feeling pulled by the spirit of their friend, Dani, who lived and died in the house three years prior under suspicious circumstances. But it’s Ronnie (formerly known to his friends as Veronica) who called them together, desperate for their help in finding his mother who, he claims, is missing. Old wounds reopen and new challenges arise with the appearance of some uninvited guests, as the teens work together to unravel the mysteries of the past and present. 

Evening performances will be held October 20 & 21 at 7 PM and a matinee performance will be held October 22 at 2 PM.  Tickets are $6-$11 and are available for purchase online at www.CharterArts.org or at the door.  Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts is located at 321 East 3rd Street in the heart of Bethlehem's Southside Arts District.
