Charlie Sheen's Case Continued To July 12th

Charlie Sheen's hearing today in Aspen was postponed until July 12th.

The actor, who is expected to enter a plea of no contest to misdemeanor assault stemming from the Christmas day scuffle he got into with his estranged wife Brooke Mueller, has bought himself some extra time away from jail.

As part of the plea, Charlie is trying to get himself on a "work release" program that will include spending time at the local non-profit theater in Aspen, Theatre Aspen.

Paige Price, who runs Theatre Aspen, tells X17online that working with the theater was Charlie's attorney's idea, but they're looking to take full advantage of having a Hollywood actor in their midst!

In addition to helping to coach the actors performing the local theater productions, Price hopes to enlist Charlie's help in fundraising and would even like to get him onstage to introduce the performances!

Paige says they usually don't charge an entrance fee for these types of events, but they've never had a big time Hollywood actor at their theater.

"We're not going to gouge people. If we manage it so that it doesn’t become a circus, I think it could benefit us, as well as Mr. Sheen," said Price, adding that they'd probably charge between $25-$45 per person.

Charlie was arrested on Christmas day after a fight with Mueller at their vacation home in Aspen turned ugly. She called 911 in the early morning of December 25th, claiming Charlie had threatened her with a knife.
