"Goodbye Charlie"
written by George Axelrod

November 4 & 5 | 7 PM

Directed by Mark McClenathan
Produced by Laurel Bryant

Performance dates: Friday & Saturday 8pm January 19 – February 2, 2019 with Sunday Matinee January 27 2pm. First table read-through is Monday,  December 10, 2018.  Rehearsal schedule will accommodate the holidays.

Goodbye Charlie" is set in the early 60's (pre-Beatlemania) and is a hilarious tale of mixed gender identity that begins with  Charlie's memorial service after he was shot dead by a jealous husband.  But Charlie has been given a second chance and is reincarnated as a beautiful woman, just the type he used to play around with.  This show is an actor's dream with many character types, well-defined, with full range of emotions.  Charlie, George and Rusty all have several long monologues so looking for experienced actors not intimidated by lengthy memorization.

Cast of Characters (4 men/3 women)

• Charlie Sorel (lead) a female reincarnation of a playboy Hollywood screenwriter.  Scripted age is 38, but looks 28.  Full-figured, beautiful and tall (5'9" +).  Struggling with his new body and lease on life.
• George Tracy (lead) best friend of the deceased.  Attractive, athletic, also late 30's.  A bit frazzled by the latest developments.  Lives in Paris.
• Rusty Meyerling (lead) the married woman Charlie was with when her husband killed him.  Rusty is early 30's  with movie-star looks, well-groomed but not the brightest bulb in the pack.
• Greg Morris (supporting) Charlie's lawyer.  Lives by the clock.  Older gentleman, no-nonsense.
• Irving (supporting) Charlie's agent.  Any age, somewhat flamboyant.
• Mr. Shriber (supporting)  a tax expert.  Any age, good with figures.
• Franny Saltzman (supporting) wife of a major film studio executive.  A member of Charlie's "club."  Former girl scout, conservative, compulsive talker.
