You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, MTSU Wesley Foundation, April 3 - April 6, 2008
Lucy and Linus from "You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown"Charlie Brown and all the characters of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts is an essential part of childhood. However, if you think you have outgrown the comic strip, think again, Charlie Brown and all his friends are not just for kids. Now is an opportunity to see all these beloved characters come alive on the Wesley Foundation stage.
You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown will be presented by the Wesley Players of the Wesley Foundation at MTSU. The Wesley Foundation proudly presents the revised version of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown opening on Thursday, April 3 and running April 3 – April 6, 2008. A Dinner Theatre performance will be on Saturday, April 5 at 6:30 PM. Thursday and Friday performances will begin at 8:00 PM.
A special matinee performance for youth groups will be presented on Sunday, April 6 at 3:00 PM.
This musical tells the story of an average day in the life of Charlie Brown through a combination of short scenes, monologues, and musical numbers. Along with Charlie’s friends – Linus, Sally, Schroeder, Lucy, and of course his more or less faithful beagle Snoopy- Charlie Brown struggles through another day full of book reports, kite flying, baseball games, and a little philosophy.
Even if you have seen the original 1967 musical version you will not want to miss this revival with a new friend (Sally) and new musical numbers. “This show has the warm glow of simplicity and the clear ring of truth.” The Brooklyn Papers
