Charlie Brown and the entire Peanuts gang explore life’s great questions as they play baseball, struggle with homework, sing songs, swoon over their crushes and celebrate the joy of friendship. Having opened in 1967 and reprised in 1999, this musical offers a relatable and nostalgic look at childhood, with its ups and downs, through the familiar lens of the characters we have all grown to love on their pursuit of happiness.

1776 Runs April 16-26

1776
Maysville Players
April 16-26
Washington Opera House [Maysville]

Directed by Mikey Mills

This nostalgic musical dramatizes the efforts of John Adams to persuade his colleagues to vote for American independence and to sign the document. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the men behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation.

THIS THING CALLED LOVE: A Musical Cabaret
Wilmington College Theatre

The cabaret highlights the theatrical and musical talents of students involved in both programs by drawing from the Great American Songbook, featuring familiar pieces by Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, the Gershwins and others.
