From Steps to Stages, From Vision to Vibration, The Rise of Charles L. Mont III

Charles Mont III

Some creatives don’t just enter a room, they expand it. They shape it, elevate it, and infuse it with a spark you didn’t know was missing until they arrived. Charles L. Mont III, known affectionately as Charlie, is that kind of artist.

At this year’s Jasai Theater Festival, Charlie steps into a space that fits him like a tailored suit, part storyteller, part choreographer, part visionary. He brings with him not just years of performance, leadership, and direction, but a presence. A calling. A gift. His dream is clear, to become a Creative Director who doesn’t just lead projects but creates worlds. Through dance, worship, and story, he weaves together the threads of movement, music, and message in a way that lingers long after the curtain closes. Charlie doesn’t simply perform, he produces moments. He aligns energy. He brings the abstract into focus and turns inspiration into an immersive encounter.

What makes this festival so meaningful to him is not just the artistry, it’s the synergy. It’s working with fellow creatives who sharpen one another. It’s building community. And every time he’s invited to the table, he shows up with humility, gratitude, and fire.

From stage performances and musicals, to five years managing costumes, to two years assisting in professional murder mysteries, Charlie has worn many hats, and danced in many shoes. His choreography, his leadership in Dancing with Charlie, and his deep roots in the performing arts have positioned him not just as a participant, but as a pillar.

This year, he is walking boldly into the role he’s been building toward all along, Creative Director. He’s not just creating work that moves people, he’s creating room for others to move too.

Because for Charles L. Mont III, the goal is never applause. The goal is impact. Connection. And legacy.

And this time, he’s not just telling the story, he’s helping shape how we all experience it.
