Charles Lago
PRODUCTIONBiography
Charles Lago is a talent manager, and film and theater producer. He is currently personal manager to actors and has over the past few years managed (or currently manages) well known actors such as Tom Sizemore, Doug Hutchison, Robert Lasardo, Sally Kellerman, Bud Cort, David Proval, Britt Ekland as well as to personalities, Richard Hatch (Winner Survivor Season 1) Courtney Stodden (Social Media Influencer) Heidi Fliess, George Christie (former leader of The Hells Angels), Josh Flagg (BRAVO TV personality), and musician Bertie Higgins. Charles's journey began with "Authors on Tour" working with renowned authors including Arianna Huffington, John Dean, Mariel Hemingway, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Gov. Anne Richards, Sen. George McGovern, Tommy Chong, Phillis Diller, Dennis Rodman, Ed McMahon, and many others. This eventually led to the formation of DTLA Entertainment Group, founded by Charles and partner Chris Johnson. Having worked with many luminaries in the world of film, theater, and politics, DTLA expanded its business to include film production publishing and talent management. Prior to "Authors on Tour" and "DTLA Entertainment Group", Charles Lago was a successful theater producer, first in Palm Springs producing over a hundred plays/one-man shows followed by a seven-year stint in San Diego. In 2000, the San Diego Union-Tribune named Charles "one of the most prolific theater producers in San Diego." Charles founded the well-known 6@Penn Studio and during his tenure at 6@Penn, Charles produced many one-man shows including Sherry Glaser's Family Secrets (the longest-running one-woman show off-Broadway), Legendary Performance Artist Annie Sprinkle's Herstory of Porn, David Schmader's acclaimed one-man show, Straight, internationally-acclaimed solo performance artist Tim Miller's one-man shows, and many other successful and well-reviewed plays. Charles is also known for having revived and produced well-known satirist Quentin Crisp's critically acclaimed one-man show, An Evening With Quentin Crisp and took Quentin on the road to several US Cities to perform his show to sold-out houses. In 1999 Charles arranged a six-city tour of the UK, which immediately sold out. Unfortunately, the night Quentin arrived in Manchester for his first show, he died peacefully in his sleep at age 90. All the performances went on as planned which offered a tribute to this unique personality who had a film starring John Hurt made about him, The Naked Civil Servant as well as a chart-topping song by Sting, An Englishman In New York. He divides his time between Los Angeles and what he calls, his desert paradise of Palm Springs with his beloved doggie Max.
