About the Show
This adaptation of the characters created by Charles M. Shulz takes us through an “average day in the life of an average blockhead” in a funny, witty musical that is sure to entertain all ages. Join Charlie Brown and all your favorite characters from this childhood favorite as they experience love at first sight, chaotic baseball games, 5 cent psychiatry, and Valentine’s Day Laments.
