About Good Time Charlie
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.

It’s an engaging coming-out story with really interesting characters.
Had a unique perspective of the NYC Guncle passing his love of theatre on to his gay nephew. Thought it was going to be more of a comedy and lighthearted but ended up being more poignant. I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Good Time Charlie is a beautiful auto/bio-graphical story about gay acceptance across time among family and friends written by Ryan Haddad. It is also a love letter to theatre
