Based on the comic strip “Peanuts” by Charles M. Schulz
Good grief! Everyone’s favorite blockhead is taking center stage in this heartwarming and hilarious musical celebration of friendship, imagination, and all the ups and downs of being a kid.
Join Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Sally, and Schroeder as they tackle everything from baseball and book reports to kite-flying and crushes — with humor, honesty, and a whole lot of heart. Based on Charles M. Schulz’s beloved Peanuts comic strip, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown brings these iconic characters to life in a joyful production filled with catchy songs, clever sketches, and moments that remind us all what it means to be “a good person.”
In true PLAY Theatre Company style, this professional production celebrates literacy, creativity, and community — inviting young audiences and their families to experience the magic of live theatre together.
Whether you’re discovering the Peanuts gang for the first time or revisiting old friends, this musical will leave you smiling from ear to ear and humming all the way home.
This show is recommended for ALL ages.
Run time 1 hour and 10 minutes with a 10 minute intermission.
