About
NOV. 21 - DEC. 29, 2018

Directed by MICHAEL EVAN HANEY

The Playhouse's version of A Christmas Carol combines faithful storytelling with spellbinding stage magic to bring to life its familiar story of a sinner given one last chance at redemption by four persuasive ghosts. Ebenezer Scrooge undergoes a miraculous Christmas Eve transformation as he views with new eyes his past, present and the possibilities of the future. As he witnesses all those who have improved his life — his first love Belle, his kindhearted employer Fezziwig, his nephew Fred and his heartily abused clerk Bob Cratchit — he realizes that it's never too late to change his miserly ways. A Christmas Carol's heartwarming message, hundreds of costumes and thrilling special effects help to make the show one of the Playhouse's most popular productions each year.
 
“If you haven’t seen it, give yourself a present and do so.” – CityBeat

Role : Young and Mature Scrooge / Ghost of Christmas Future
Order : 40

Charlie is making his rousing Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park debut with this production. His regional credits include MilkMilkLemonade (Impact Theatre Berkeley), The Irish Curse (Short North Stage) and the national premiere of Pesach at 7 Stages Theatre in Atlanta. You may have seen him locally as Curly, Tybalt, Sebastian or The Wooer from The Two Noble Kinsmen on the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's former main stage. Charlie received his MFA from the University of Georgia, where he met the other founding members of Complicit Theatre Company. Their latest devised piece, The Encampment of Dr. Moreau, won critics' choice for best drama at the 2018 International Orlando Fringe. Charlie would have never achieved these credits without the love and support of his brothers Toby and Elliot, his parents Bruce and Carol, and his partner Lauren.
