'Charlie Brown' And 'Dog Sees God' At Jerry Herman Theatre

THE UM Jerry Herman RING THEATRE PRODUCTIONS IN REPERTORY

February 18 - March 7, 2009 

The University of Miami Jerry Herman Ring Theatre continues their 2008 - 2009 season of music, romance and comedy. Classic comic strip characters take the stage in two plays running in repertory at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre located at 1312 Miller Drive on the University of Miami's Coral Gables campus.

The Ring Theatre presents the family musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Based on the comic strip "Peanuts" by Charles M. Schulz, the musical invites audiences of all ages to join the beloved Charlie Brown, Lucy, Snoopy, Schroeder, Linus, and Sally as they encounter the wonders of childhood. From Charlie Brown's disappointments on Valentine's Day to Snoopy's flying ace doing battle with the nefarious Red Baron, everyone's favorite Peanuts' moments are brought to life in this lighthearted performance.

Due to popular demand, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown has added an extra week. Performances are February 18, 20, 26, 28 and March 4 - 7 at 8 pm, and February 21, March 1 and 7 at 2 pm. Ticket prices for weeknights and matinees: Regular admission: $18; Seniors, UM faculty/staff/alumni: $16; Students: $8. Friday & Saturday nights: Regular admission: $22; Seniors, UM faculty/staff/alumni: $18; Students: $10.

In conjunction with You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, the Ring Theatre will also be showcasing the surprise Off-Broadway hit by Bert V. Royal, Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead. The play poses the question, "What happens to the comic strip gang after they become angst-obsessed teens?" This satirical take on America's favorite comic strip will surely please adult audiences and help them to imagine life after childhood for these characters. Dog Sees God contains adult language and themes along with graphic content. It is not suitable for children or young teens.
