The year 2025 is up and running, bringing much movement, new creative adventures and challenges. After starting out on January 5 with with the intimate Cabin Fever reading of Seeds Of Lightning by Chuck Sullivan, we are brainstorming on a new Moving Poets multi-media signature production. Given all that is currently going on in the USA and the world, this is frankly no easy task - where shall we begin?..........
... we will keep you informed:) - not only on Moving Poets but also on select upcoming works by our artists and partners in Charlotte.
In this context we give a shout out to the return of Carolina Actors Studio Theatre (CAST) with their first shows since 2014! Collaborating with Actors Collaborative Theatre (ACT) they present the play ALABASTER by Audrey Cefaly.
Cynthia Farbman Harris, who has been a wonderful creative force and performer with Moving Poets Charlotte, both as a singer and actor for over 20 years, will be performing the role of Alice! Come on out to see and support her and the entire group of performers, creatives and crew on this intriguing show.
February 27th – March 16th, Van Every Theatre | Mint Museum.

Big Thank You again to our fantastic Little Prince team, our friends, audience and supporters for making this wonderful show a reality!
The last week of October 2022 marked exactly 25 years since Moving Poets opened its first public show for Halloween in 1997: Dracula. To celebrate the occasion we presented the world premier of our original production of “The Little Prince”, October 27-30, at the Booth Playhouse.
This multi media concert performance ride to strange planets and the desert was inspired by the French pilot & author “Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s” work and his mysterious disappearance during an air battle between allied and German forces in the second world war.
Originally prohibited in much of Europe, today “The Little Prince” is one of the world’s most known books with over 300 translations. From the perspective of our inner child, it investigates with great charm and depth friendship, loss, love, conflict, purpose, loneliness and having to grow old – in a world run by adults that always need to have everything explained.
Moving Poets original adaptation followed our unique format of highly creative, cross-cultural, contempoary musical theatre. It was developed and performed in various stages since Summer 2021 in Charlotte and Berlin (Germany) in collaboration with over 55 local, national and international musicians, dancers, actors, visual artists, composers and writers.
The performances were accompanied by “The Little Prince - pictures” - an exhibition in the Booth lobby of art work by regional and national visual artists. The exhibition drew from the themes of: innocence, imagination, fragility, identity, isolation, love and responsibility. The participating artists selected for the exhibition have uniquely explored these various concepts, using the common thread of visual language emphasized by Saint-Exupéry’s belief that words have limits and truths can defy verbal explanation.
“All grown-ups were children once – although few of them remember it.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
