This winter, the Young Performers Workshop presents You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, about Charlie Brown and the entire Peanuts gang exploring life's great questions as they play baseball, struggle with homework, sing songs, swoon over their crushes, and celebrate the joy of friendship. Life with Father, about a stockbrocker in late 19th-century New York City, Clarence Day, who strives to maintain order in his bustling household. Despite his attempts to be the chief authority over his four sons, his wife, Vinnie, is the one who truly keeps order in their home, much to Clarence's chagrin. 5-6-7-8! Stories that Dance, a selection of stories told through movement and dance pieces, featuring choreography by Michael Blevins.
