About Director Charles Penland
Charles' career expands many years; in fact he started acting very early on as a regular on "The Waltons" and with starring appearances in "Charlie's Angels" and "Hill Street Blues".
Although he has extensive television and film credits such as "Hunter," "Living Single" and "Martin," and his latest film roles in "Roscoes' House of Chicken Waffles" and "Love Beat The Hell Outta Me" with Terrence Howard, Charles' backbone is in the Theater where he was acclaimed for performances in "Othello", "Fathers and sons" with Richard Chaimberlain and the Award winning "Buffalo Soldier". But his love for musical Theater has led him not only to star in National Tours of plays, but also to Produce and Direct.
Charles has directed a long list of productions that have toured cities around the United States, and because of his history as an actor, he has captured the reputation amongst his highly regarded National Tours "Everything But My Soul", "Love In All The Wrong Faces", and the piece "What In Hell Do You Want?" which earned him an NAACP Theater Awards nomination. Charles has over time taken the essence of the traditional Gospel Play and transformed it into an experience brimming with spirituality, comedy, drama and unforgettable songs.
The perfect example of this Gospel Evolution is "One Night Stand." However, the pinnacle of Charles' directing career must certainly be "Tell Hell I Ain't Comin", in which he created a fusion of Gospel and Broadway, visual and sensory, that transcended all cultural and ethnic lines, and that made the show a darling amongst critics and audiences throughout the United States.
