“You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown” cast with Valentines by John Dlugolecki
Sierra Madre Playhouse is adding performances of its outdoor production of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”, extending its run through September 12, because of robust advance ticket sales.
“You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”, the classic musical comedy based on the beloved Peanuts comic strip created by Charles M. Schulz, co-presented with the City of Sierra Madre, is being performed outdoors in Sierra Madre Memorial Park, located at 222 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre.
The cast includes Hamilton Davis Weaver as Charlie Brown, Mary Zastrow as Lucy, Marcha Kia as Sally, Luke Sweeney as Schroeder, Alexander Mashikian as Snoopy, and Melvin Biteng as Linus. Melvin previously appeared in the Playhouse’s production of Nothing Is the Same.
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.
