You're a Good Man Charlie Brown
(Musical Comedy)
PRODUCTION CLASS:
You’re a Good
Man, Charlie Brown
is a musical comedy by Clark Gesner based on the characters
created by Charles M. Schulz in his comic strip Peanuts.
The action is set in an average day in the life of Charlie
Brown. But it is actually a day made up of little moments from
all the days of Charlie Brown, from Valentine's Day to baseball
season, from wild optimism to utter despair, all mixed in with
the lives of his friends (both human and non-human) and strung
together on the string of a single day, from bright uncertain
morning to hopeful starlit evening. Funny and sentimental,
this show will warm the heart.

and professional attitude as well as a strong commitment.
Students will not only gain the experience of a theatrical
performance but will receive life lessons in teamwork,
perseverance and leadership.
