"One of Dallas’ favorite professional actors, Max J. Swarner will be headlining the production and had this to say: 'I am immensely honored to take on the title role in this beautiful musical on the life of the legendary Charlie Chaplin, a complex and deeply human man whose off-screen persona is even more fascinating than the characters he vibrantly brought to life on film. This piece brings together two of my biggest passions – musical theatre and movies – and has given me the opportunity to research and explore classic Hollywood and to push myself in ways I never thought I would. Shane Peterman, Vonda Bowling, Ann Nieman, and Elizabeth Kensek have assembled an incredibly talented cast and crew for this massive production, and it is a privilege to share the stage with such wonderful artists and musicians. We cannot wait to share this exciting musical with our audiences!'"
