In Fall 2026, I will be understudying five roles in this gorgeous play GOOD TIME CHARLIE at The Public Theater in Martinson Hall. It is written by Ryan J. Haddad and directed by Danny Sharron.

ABOUT THE SHOW


Ryan J. Haddad returns to The Public with his joyous, moving new play GOOD TIME CHARLIE. As a young man, Charlie dreamt of a life on the stage, but his parents thought dentistry sounded better, so he channeled his passion for culture into his nephew Ryan—a fellow theater-loving gay kid with Broadway ambitions. Spanning more than three decades, GOOD TIME CHARLIE is a multigenerational story of gay men growing up, falling in love, and cherishing the arts. Directed by Danny Sharron, this comedic, theatrical love letter celebrates the people who teach us how to dream.

This is in addition to running concessions at The Batchelder Bistro, organizing the Annual Unofficial Tamworth Pride Saunter, and running The Barnstormers Drama Book Club for the community. You could say I love this place.


 
 

For those of you clamoring to see Doug back on stage in a play, you got it! Come see IMPACT: A Family Traumedy. Set against the backdrop of an upcoming Bat Mitzvah, this "traumedy"-based on a true story-unpacks the emotional layers of a family confronting shared trauma. IMPACT is a raw, real, and unexpectedly funny exploration of how we come together as a family when it matters most.
