YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN Runs Oct. 25-27

LP_You're a Good Man Charlie Brown logoYOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN
Lumos Players
Oct. 25-27
Lakeview United Church of Christ [Maineville]

Directed by Corey Nieman
Music directed by Katie Personke
Choreographed by Laurie Murphy
Produced by Jennifer Martin

Cast: Erich Geoppinger as Charlie Brown, Ilona Piaskowy as Lucy Van Pelt, Kim Toft as Sally Brown, Amy Trojanski as Linus Van Pelt, Chip Undergrove as Schroeder, Alex Soldano as Snoopy, Paul Hahn as Woodstock & Aaliyah Porter, Lillian Martin & Sabrina Toft as Friends of Woodstock

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. This show is considered rated G and is appropriate for all ages.

And now daughter Ruth unveils her plan to write and star in a one-woman show about the family miracle so the “whole world will know!” However, as her plans for theatrical immortality unfold, the entire family’s faith is shaken to the very core when a deathbed confession causes the family legend to unravel.
