The new Santa Monica Civic Light Opera is presenting the Tony-Award winning, revised version of “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown,” based on the comic strip, “Peanuts,” by Charles M. Shulz.
It is a fresh approach to the 1966 classic and includes the favorite comic characters such Charlie, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Snoopy and Sally Brown.
The musical takes the audience through a typical day in the life of Charlie Brown. The day is made up of little moments picked up from all the days of Charlie Brown — from Valentine’s Day to the baseball season, from perpetual optimism to utter despair — all mixed in with the lives of his friends, both human and non-human, in a single day, from a bright uncertain morning to a hopeful starlit evening.
“You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” will be at the intimate Humanities Center Theatre at Santa Monica High School on July 25 at 8 p.m. and July 26 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. General admission is $15. Call the box office at (310) 458-5939 or e-mail for tickets and information.
