Overview

Synopsis

A new musical for young performers!

Everyday Charlie tells the story of Charlie, a 5th grader who has to change schools in the middle of the school year. One day, Charlie challenges Jared, the leader of the kickball team, to a kickoff. Things take a sudden turn when the only kickball gets lost over the schoolyard fence. Will Charlie and his new friends from the Explorer’s Club be able to save recess together?

Everyday Charlie is a 60 minute one-act (with an optional intermission) and has 8 lead characters. All characters’ genders can be changed based off of casting and the show has flexible ensemble options for 8 - 40+ performers. Great for young performers, summer camp productions, and more!
