This performance by 5th and 6th grade students will be the first-ever musical performed as part of the elementary school's 21st Century Afterschool Program, and is presented under the direction of Colegrove teacher Katie Bryce featuring choreography by Malia'Kekia Nicolini.
According to a press release:
Families and community members are invited to join Charlie Brown and the entire Peanuts gang to explore life's great questions as they play baseball, struggle with homework, sing songs, swoon over their crushes and celebrate the joy of friendship.
The performance is free to attend.
"Our students have worked so hard to not only put on this show, but to help curate the experience of living in Charlie Brown's world. They helped with costumes, set design, prop selection, and choreography," said Katie Bryce, program teacher and director. "This show is quite literally their passion project, and I am so proud of what they are about to put on!"
"You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" is based on the comic strip "Peanuts" by Charles M. Schulz. Book, music and lyrics by Clark Gesner and additional dialogue by Michael Mayer. Additional music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa.
