Auditions are scheduled Sunday and Monday for “You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown,” which will be performed May 31, June 1, 7, 8, and 9 at the Bonnie Kate Theater.
Auditions will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday and Monday from 7 to 9 p.m.
Charles Schulz’s beloved comic comes to life in Clark Gesner’s classic musical, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” The whole gang is here: bossy Lucy is hopelessly in love with piano prodigy Schroeder who doesn’t give her the time of day, perfectionist Sally is still mocking blanket-toting Linus, Snoopy is in the doghouse, and “blockhead,” himself, Charlie Brown, is in rare form. Brief vignettes span the months from Valentine’s Day to Beethoven Day, from wild optimism to utter despair.
In this revised version, with additional music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and dialogue by Michael Mayer, the sweet, joyful innocence of the Peanuts gang is maintained, but a fresh insouciance and playfulness is revealed. The new script features two new songs, particularly funny dialogue, and new, catchy orchestrations. Whether you’re keen to fly with the Red Baron, moon over the Moonlight Sonata, or just do your best to find “Happiness,” “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” is a crowd-pleasing classic.
June 1 and 2 will both have bike races downtown in Elizabethton where we are located, please make sure to have enough time to find parking to get to the theater.
Tickets which are $10 can be purchased online or onsite.
