Charles created and directs an annual festival at  that venue every week of April 23rd called the WILL-A-THON that has been going strong since 2004 and has garnered considerable critical acclaim. His production of “MACBETH” on the Main Stage in 2007 there was a sold-out event that Backstage praised as "an immensely effective show....virtually revels in its trust of the Bard!". In 2014 his collaborator, Sandy Moore, received the New York Innovative Theater Award for Best Solo Performance for Langston Hughes’ “THE SIMPLE STORIES", with whom Charles co-adapted the stories and directed the production.
