Charlie Tingen (TIN-jin) was born and raised in the small town of Washington, North Carolina. He caught the acting bug at just three years old when he hijacked his preschool performance of Miss Spider's Tea Party, improvising the role of a butterfly instead of his assigned role as a rain cloud.
After graduating from Coastal Carolina University with a BFA in Musical Theatre, he moved to New York City where he currently resides.
He has performed Off-Broadway, in national tours, with symphony orchestras, and at opera companies and regional theatres throughout the United States.
His favorite credits include: Enjolras in Les Misérables, Freddy Eynsford-Hill in My Fair Lady, Tony in West Side Story, Jack in Into the Woods, and Maximillian in Candide. He has also appeared as a soloist with symphony orchestras such as: Utah Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, North Carolina Symphony, and Pacific Symphony.
"If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself." - Max Ehrmann
