    While this may be Mr. Kling's first appearance in a Pembroke Musical, he is no stranger to the stage.  In 2011, he appeared in Hello Dolly. When he is not at rehearsals, you can find him teaching or serving as Pembroke's Athletic Director. He has also coached Pembroke Football since 2022. Mr. Kling would like to send a giant thank you to his friends and family. He is also grateful to his agent for landing him this gig.  Let's give Mr. Kling a warm welcome to the Pembroke stage!

    Charles is an eighth grader and an experienced prince! He played Prince Ben in Descendants and was also cast as Friedrich in last year’s production of The Sound of Music. In addition to stage performances, Charles participates in football, baseball, Science Club, and Math Team. Musically, he is a member of Chamber Choir, Brass Quintet, and Pembroke Marching Band. Outside of school he is in the Senior Choir at church and plays in the Alexander Fireman's Band. Charles expresses his gratitude by saying, “I would first like to thank God for the musical talent he has gifted me with, all the leads for making this so much fun--especially James and Sam, my parents for taking me to and from rehearsal, Miss Long for her amazing choreography, and Mr. Clark for giving me advice and teaching a non-actor like me how to act. Thanks, Mr. Kling, I will always be able to say that I slayed a real NFL Player!”
