“Sir Charles T. McStuffings” is an original musical written by Playwright, Wendy White and the children residing at the Shepherd’s Way/HOPE South Florida homeless shelter.  The musical will be performed by the children, and their “grown-up actor counterparts,” the New Light Players. Original art by the children will be on exhibit and a film produced by film-maker Justin Hearn will be featured, portraying the making of “Sir Charles T. McStuffings”.

The children are all multi-talented and born to be on the stage!” states Wendy White. “My dream is to help children learn how to express themselves artistically via playwrighting, painting and music, giving them joy and hope to rise above their circumstances.”

“HOPE South Florida is a partnership, a lead organization in a network of partner churches and organizations working together to provide a holistic Christian response to homelessness in our community. The Shepherd's Way/HOPE South Florida provides shelter and life skill classes to homeless and hurting families throughout Broward County, crossing denominational lines, Protestants and Catholics alike came together, united to serve individuals and families living on the streets.”  For more information visit: https://www.hopesouthflorida.org/

The playwright and director, Wendy White has written over 125 one-act plays and is the President and Co-Founder of the New Light Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit public foundation dedicated to providing cultural outreach to the community through the arts and education.  This is Wendy White’s third theatrical production with the children of the Shepherd’s Way Homeless Shelter.  She recently produced her original one-woman show, The Jewish Nun to sold-out audiences in Off-Broadway’s 59e59 Theatre and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 2009, the New Light Foundation, Inc. represented the United States as Art Ambassadors by the 1-2-3 Kinderlachen e.V. foundation of Rottenburg, Germany by hosting the international “Global Gallery” project (www.123kinderlachen.org).  During the course of this important project, the “world’s biggest canvas” emerged; painted by children – transcending all borders and conflicts.

Wendy White would like to thank Janet Erlick, the Founder and Artistic Director of the Fort Lauderdale Children’s Theatre (FLCT) for her incredible generosity for providing the venue for our performance; the mission at FLCT is to teach the art of life through the magic of theatre.  Wendy would also like to thank Vanessa Garcia, Artistic Director of Krane, Inc. for all her support in the process of developing Sir Charles T. McStuffings.  In 2010, Garcia, the Founding Artistic Director of Krane, Inc. was named one of Miami's 20 Under 40 by The Miami Herald for her work in theatre.
