Charles Nolte is a distinguished theater artist with an international reputation – an actor, playwright, director, and educator who taught at the University of Minnesota for three decades. As an actor, Nolte appeared in nine Broadway productions, including the title role in Louis Coxe and Robert Chapman’s Billy Budd and Herman Wouk’s The Caine Mutiny Courtmartial.
In 2009, Dr. Charles M. Nolte donated his papers to the Tretter Collection for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Studies at the University of Minnesota. This donation formed the basis of an open collection for LGBT-related performance and film materials, with Nolte’s papers at its core.
Nolte's donation shows how the Tretter Collection can preserve life stories of important GLBT leaders, artistic, political and otherwise. Students and scholars will be able to use Nolte's amazing personal records to reconstruct a whole world of American professionals in drama, from the late 1940s to contemporary times.
