They are all here! Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Patty, Schroeder, even that little red haired girl, and especially, the benighted, put upon, lovable Charlie Brown — all the characters still syndicated daily in hundreds of newspapers in Charles M. Schultz’s beloved comic strip, Peanuts. Set to a delightful musical score, you’ll find the kite eating tree, the Red Baron, Lucy and the football, the great pumpkin, Lucy as psychiatrist, Charlie and the unapproachable red haired girl, Woodstock and so much more! Here are all the kids with nary an adult on the scene as they face their problems, express their joys, and give you one of the grandest and most entertaining theatre pleasures you’re likely to experience. Come and see your old friends — they will have you singing and smiling as you leave the theater! The stellar cast includes: Pat Sutton as Charlie Brown, Gina Marie Schwoerer as Lucy, Abrham Bogale as Snoopy, Brian S. Rothman as Linus, Kristin E. Hegel as Patty, and Peter Campagna as Schroeder.
