MORRISTOWN, NJ — Front & Center for Performing Arts will stage “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” on Friday, Jan. 13, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 14, at 2 and 7 p.m. at Saint Elizabeth University’s Dolan Performance Hall, 2 Convent Road in Morristown.
Join Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang as they sing and dance their way into your hearts in this musical production. The show features a cast of talented young performers from local New Jersey towns.
The show, directed by Julie Celeste-Lira, with Wayne Hu and Jeff Ostermueller as musical advisers, features the following Essex County residents: Jordyn Gulliford, Lara Horgan, Aara Jain, Nikita Raj, Jessica Sherman, Grace Stafford and Loveday Sym, all of Millburn.
“Charles M. Schulz once said, ‘All children are peanuts. They’re delightful, funny, irresistible and wonderfully unpredictable.’ He was absolutely right. I am so excited for the audience both new to Charlie Brown and his friends, and those who have loved him for years, to jump into this nostalgic comic strip with the Front & Center Peanuts gang,” said Celeste-Lira, Front & Center’s creative director.
Tickets can be purchased at frontncenter.booktix.com. Any remaining seats will be sold at the door before each show.
