Looking for a special Valentine gift? Charlie Brown, Lucy, Snoopy and their friends are coming to the Castro Valley Center for the Arts on February 14 and 15 at 7:30 pm and February 15 and 16 at 2:00pm in the musical production of You’re a Good Man, CHARLIE BROWN presented by Castro Valley Arts Foundation and TMC Arts. 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. This classic is a favorite of all ages!
Producers Dayna Speed and Berenice Sullivan agreed, “We are very excited to bring CHARLIE BROWN to our audiences. After our success with Hunchback and Bright Star, we wanted to concentrate on musicals for the whole family in 2025!” Their cast of 14 stellar actors are under the direction of Dayna Speed, Music Director Delphean Quan, Vocal Director Sue Susoeff, and Choreographer Cat Reeves.
You’re a Good Man, CHARLIE BROWN is based on Charles Schulz’s comic strip with book, music and lyrics by Clark Gesner. It’s hard to believe that Peanuts is celebrating its 75th anniversary this fall! Whether reading the comics, watching Peanuts shows on TV or enjoying the iconic characters on a sweatshirt or a greeting card, these quirky, but loveable, characters are a part of the fabric of our lives. The first cartoon strip was printed in 7 newspapers nationwide October 2, 1950. At its peak, Peanuts ran in over 2,600 newspapers, with a readership of 355 million in 75 countries, and was translated into 21 languages.
