Described as an “unauthorized parody,” this daring, and at times shocking play takes characters from the comic strip “Peanuts” and turns them into teenagers dealing with drug abuse, bullying, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion, sex and sexual identity.

When CB’s dog contracts rabies and must be euthanized after ripping Woodstock to shreds and nearly biting CB, he begins to question the existence of an afterlife. A chance meeting with Beethoven, an artistic kid and also the target of his group’s bullying, offers CB peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that pushes teen angst to its limits.

Appearing onstage are Roberto Forero, Rachel Phelan, Zachariah Smith, Kerielle Sollecito, Michael Rosas, Sydney Hymanson, Danielle Yucht, Nick Napoli, Eddie Rogers and Gina Solebello.
