Based on Charles M. Schulz’s beloved comic strip, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown explores life through the eyes of the Peanuts gang as they play baseball, struggle with homework, sing songs, swoon over their crushes, and celebrate the joy of friendship. This is a charming revue of songs and vignettes – featuring musical numbers “My Blanket and Me,” “The Kite,” “The Baseball Game,” “Little Known Facts,” “Suppertime” and “Happiness” – is designed to appeal to audiences of all ages. Producer Jessica Phelan shared, “This cast has a ton of energy and playfulness. It has been so fun to watch them begin to shape their versions of these iconic characters during rehearsals. You will definitely leave with a smile on your face!”
