See ‘Peanuts’ characters

  ”You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” will be performed by Western Carolina University’s Musical theatre Program July 6, 7 and 8 at 8 p.m. in the pavilion at Roanoke Island Festival Park as a part of the park’s performance series. ”Peanuts” by Charles Schulz remains a beloved entertainment for both children and adults. The performances are free and open to the public.

  Originally debuted on Broadway in 1967, the current show of ”You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” was re-envisioned in 1990. It has also won two Tony awards and three Drama Desk awards. In the show, visitors will delight in the antics of all the lovable characters, from Charlie to Snoopy and others.  The audience will be captivated by Charlie’s search for love, Linus and his blanket and Snoopy’s battles with the Red Baron. The Charlie Brown shows are great for the whole family and community and will evoke nostalgia in long-time ”Peanuts” fans. The performances will be outside and seating will be on the grass, so visitors are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs and picnics.
