Well, if you can't transpose at sight yourself and you haven't got time to
write it out in full then you have several options.

First, learn to play it in the original key, then write the chord symbols
in the NEW key above the piano part and learn to play your own arrangement
in the new key.   This is the best option for your development as a
musician.

Second, get a student to write it out in full; he/she will do it cheap.

Third, as David Kastrup said, you could borrow or rent a keyboard (and
amp/speakers?) with a transpose button for the performance. Of course it
depends on whether that's appropriate for the gig.

Fourth, hire a more experienced musician to play/transpose it for the
performance.

Finally, if none of the above work, get back to me to write it out for
you.  This will be the most expensive option.

My advice is, if you can't manage option one then hire the more experienced
pianist.

All the best,
Gerard
