Kelly Charles

Creative Director

Kelly is a homeschool mama of four amazing kids and has been married to her wonderful husband for twenty years. She has loved theater since she was a little girl, with experience in school and church productions, chorus, worship team, children’s theater, and even the U.S. Navy, where she discovered theater skills can be useful anywhere.

Kelly has been part of the Inspire family for four years and is excited (and slightly nervous) to direct for the first time this semester. She loves helping young performers grow in confidence, discover their gifts, and learn teamwork on and off stage.

When she isn’t teaching kids to be bold on stage or reminding them that "stage left" is not wherever they feel like going, she can usually be found helping Lynette create props and bring set pieces to life.

Kelly is so proud of these kiddos and incredibly grateful to the Lord, her family, and everyone at Inspire for all of their love, encouragement, and support.

Kelly Alvarez

Music Director

Kelly is a woman of God, proud Army wife, devoted homeschool mom of two, and lifelong classical singer with a deep love for opera. She trained at New World School of the Arts and the University of South Carolina and has performed with professional opera companies and choirs in the US and abroad. She owns Étude Music Studio and graciously serves as Music Director at Inspire Studios. She loves her family, dog and parrots, builds Legos with delight, and never turns down a good afternoon tea.
