Announcing Auditions for You're A Good Man Charlie Brown!
A great time for the whole family, come experience a musical comedy about a day in the life of Charlie Brown. The trials and tribulations of friendship and love in the style of a favorite timeless comic strip.
“None
of the cast is actually six years old. And they don't really look like
Charles Schulz' ‘Peanuts’ cartoon characters. But this doesn't seem to
make that much difference once we are into the play, because what they
are saying to each other is with the openness of that early childhood
time, and the obvious fact is that they are all really quite fond of
each other.” —Clark Gesner, composer “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown”
