Synopsis:

This revival of the original 1967 musical is a fresh approach to the comic book world of Charles Schulz.  All your favorite characters are here:  Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, and even Snoopy as they experience “an average day in the life of Charlie Brown.”  It really is just that – a day made up of little moments picked from various comic strips and set to music.  Come see Charlie and the gang battle with kites, book reports, baseball games, Valentine’s Day, and childhood crushes before finally realizing what true happiness is all about.

 Roles Available:

Charlie Brown - is a "lovable loser," he is usually nervous and lacks self-confidence. He shows both pessimistic and optimistic attitudes but overall, although he knows the chances are slim, he always believes that the time will come when he will kick the football, sneak a kite past the kite eating tree and be the hero of the baseball game! Charlie Brown is the leader of the Peanuts gang.

Lucy Van Pelt - is a crabby, bossy and opinionated girl who bullies the other characters, particularly her younger brother Linus and Charlie Brown. She also has an unrequited crush on Schroeder.

Linus Van Pelt – is the best friend of Charlie Brown, and the younger brother of Lucy Van Pelt. Linus is the blanket wielding, thumb sucking philosopher of the group.

Snoopy - is Charlie Brown's loyal, imaginative and good-natured pet beagle. He has an active fantasy life, including being an author, a college student known as "Joe Cool" and a World War I flying ace.

Sally Brown - is the younger sister of Charlie Brown.  She has a huge crush on Linus, she calls him “her sweet baboo.”

Schroeder - is distinguished by his precocious skill at playing the toy piano, he is obsessed with the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. He is also the object of the unrequited infatuation of Lucy Van Pelt, who constantly leans on his piano, much to Schroeder's annoyance.

Performance dates:

July 26, 27, 28, & 29 - 7:30 p.m.                                                                                                                                                           July 29 & 30 - 2:00 p.m.
