Colo. theater says Sheen lawyers asked about work

ASPEN, Colo. — A Colorado theater’s artistic director says Charlie Sheen’s lawyers have approached her about having the actor work at the theater as part of a plea deal with prosecutors.

Theatre Aspen artistic director Paige Price said Friday that Sheen could work with the nonprofit theater’s education programs and help with three summer shows.

Pitkin County Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin says it’s possible Sheen would leave the county jail periodically to do “useful public service” at the theater.

Authorities said earlier this week that Sheen has reached an agreement with authorities over menacing, criminal mischief and assault charges stemming from an argument with his wife on Christmas Day at an Aspen home.

The proposed plea deal is scheduled to be presented to a judge on Monday.
