Charlie Berger is an Actor, Director, Comedian, and Writer based in the Boston area. Charlie graduated this May with a BFA from Boston University in Theatre Arts Performance with concentrations in directing and playwriting. Charlie is also an improvisational comedian and is currently training at Improv Asylum, where he also works as an usher. At BU, Charlie explored how to engage with the serious acting training as a comedic actor, constantly looking for new ways to experiment with the pedagogy. Charlie is a strong advocate for new works in theatre. His passions for playwriting and directing have been cultivated in the new works festival at Boston University, in which under the direction of playwright Kirsten Greenidge, he helped develop seven new plays written by his peers, concluding in his senior year by directing a new work in the Booth Theater. Charlie was recently awarded the Milan Stitt New Works Award for his work as a director of new plays at Boston University. Charlie gives a shoutout to his friends and family who give him the drive and energy to walk into a tiny black box every day.
