You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
- December 14 2023 - January 14 2024
- 2 hours (with interval)
- Directed by Amanda Noar
- Suitable for all ages
Charlie Brown is five years old and trying his best. But things just don’t seem to go his way: his kite won’t fly, the Little Red-Haired Girl won’t look at him, and he’s not even sure his dog Snoopy likes him all that much!
🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
With a charming book and heart-warming, hilarious songs brought to life by our wonderful five-piece band, Clark Gesner’s 1967 musical based on Charles M. Schulz’s beloved Peanuts characters urges us to find happiness in the everyday and serves as a reminder that we’re all just grown-up children trying our best to figure it out.
