A CHARLIE BROWN Holiday Double-Bill Comes to The Waterfront Theatre
By: A.A. Cristi Oct. 09, 2018
Good Grief, it's twice the fun! The holiday sell-out, A Charlie Brown Christmas, is back and playing in a special double bill feature with You're a Good Man Charlie Brown.
Experience the ups and downs of everyday life with Charlie Brown and his friends in You're A Good Man Charlie Brown. When your friends are the Peanuts gang, no day is ever ordinary, and somewhere between Beethoven's Birthday, peanut butter sandwiches, and team baseball, Charlie Brown and the gang learn about the joys of friendship and stumble upon the true meaning of happiness.
Then join Charlie Brown in A Charlie Brown Christmas as he tries to direct his friends in the school Christmas pageant. With help from his friends and a ragged little tree, Charlie Brown discovers what the season is really all about.
A Charlie Brown Holiday Double Bill is directed by Carole Higgins and features Andrew Cownden in the title role, with Arielle Ballance, Oliver Castillo, Steve Charles, Cecilly Day, KeAloha Noelani, Emilie Leclerc, Kevin Takahide Lee, Rebecca Talbot and Amanda Testini.
