Q: My friends tease me, saying that I’m such an obnoxious jerk, but amazingly, everybody seems to love me. Somebody said it’s because I have charisma — like a rock star/movie star quality. Honestly, I don’t think that highly of myself. I’m interesting-looking, outgoing, funny, and relatively talented in what I do. What is charisma exactly, and can people create it?

FLAT ROCK – “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” which will be featured this month on the Flat Rock Playhouse Mainstage, “promises audiences a thrilling, hilarious and nimble retelling of the classic crime novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle starring the iconic Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson,” the FRP noted in a press release.

In the production, three actors work in tandem to portray more than 15 characters with lightning-fast precision and delightful comedic timing.
