Broadway director Charlie Summers finds himself back home, working at the local theater.

Broadway director and golden boy Charlie Summers has come home to New Zealand. And he’s devastated. After 20 years working his way up to the top of the musical theatre world, he has found himself back in his childhood bedroom and back helping his mother, Gaye, at the local community musical theater. The eclectic cast and crew there may lack professional skills, but certainly don’t lack passion.
