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.

Town Hall Theatre
Oct. 25-27
[Centerville]

Official cast list |

The Villains’ Institute for Learning Evil (V.I.L.E.)  is where all the famous storybook villains go to learn their wicked ways.  Like any school, V.I.L.E.  has its own social groups:  The Monsters, who are always hungry and love to scare people; the Witches, who make a mean brew; the Convicts, who are expert thieves and con-artists; and the Misfits, who just don’t fit in.  There are also the Evil Geniuses, who rule the school and are at the top of the food chain.  But everything is turned upside down when the smart and talented new student, Frank Stein, shows up and challenges the status quo.  Things get even worse when he falls head over heels in love, because love is strictly forbidden at Villain School.  That’s why Heidi Jekyll, the object of Frank’s desire, wants nothing to do with him.  That is, until the potion she concocts for the science fair goes awry, transforming her into a sugary sweet princess.  Faced with potential expulsion and certain embarrassment, will the forces of evil ultimately tear them apart, or will true love prevail?
