Certain to delight kids of all ages, the family-friendly musical is charming, witty and fun. "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" explores life through the eyes of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the whole "Peanuts" gang. Join the familiar comic strip friends as they explore life's great questions while playing baseball, lamenting over homework, swooning over their crushes, and celebrating the joy of friendship. Musical numbers include "My Blanket and Me," "The Kite," "Suppertime," "Happiness," and more.
Tibbits Artistic Director Peter Riopelle said, "We chose this show for the season because we wanted to make absolutely certain we had something specifically for the kids and grandkids. We here at Tibbits dearly love our Young Audiences and we have a major commitment to serving them." He added, "When it sadly became clear that we would not be able to offer our regular Popcorn Theatre Series again this year, a visit with Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the whole Peanuts gang seemed like the perfect alternative."
