You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown tells the story of everyone’s favorite friends, The Peanuts! We bring these iconic characters to life to share a story of friendship, self discovery, and finding your happiness. This happiness can exists in the littlest of things, even as small as a pencil.

There is something so special and comforting about the Peanuts characters. This show allows audiences from all generations to come together to connect and reminisce over childhood memories. The You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown script is exactly what educational theatre is all about. It provides so much space to be expressive, do silly things, and shine on stage! This production is many students first time on stage, while others this is their last time performing with the younger age division. This element has allowed the group to connect and support each other in many ways. We both grew up on stage so we know how important these early years of introduction to theatre is! Which is what makes this show so surreal going full circle from the stage to the directors chair. 

A show this fun and iconic can not be done alone. It would not have been possible without the endless amount of support we have received. We must thank our YAT family for rallying behind us with encouragement for our first time directing. Thank you Kristina, Jean, Jess, and the entire YAT board for this opportunity. Thank you to Chrissy Burns for loving mentorship and guidance. Thank you to our fantastic artistic team who are basically family to us. It has been an honor to do this all together. Thank you to all our past, current, and future students for allowing us to share our passion by passing it on to you. We would love to thank every committee chair, volunteer, and donor for truly bringing our dream to the stage! We could not do it without all of you! Of course, thank you to our amazing cast and crew for coming together and creating this magical world. We are so proud and grateful for all of you! 

We invite you to sit back, relax, laugh hard, cheer loud, and enjoy You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown!
