Ryan J. Haddad's 'Good Time Charlie' Premieres at Public Theater
Ryan J. Haddad’s new play, 'Good Time Charlie,' opens at the Public Theater, marking his first major expansion beyond solo monologues. The two-hour memory play explores the relationship between Haddad and his uncle, Charlie, a retired dentist who served as a queer mentor. Directed by Danny Sharron, the production features a cast including Jonathan Raviv, Beth Malone, and Tim Bagley, and runs through October 25. Critics praise its warmth and humor but note its gentle handling of family trauma.
