Based on the much loved Peanuts Comic Strips, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown is a musical revue of Charlie Brown and his friends in their daily adventures! You’ll feel like you’ve jumped into your tv screen as you scramble to catch the bus, write a book report and play a baseball game with all your favourite Peanuts characters. This immersive and involved real life cartoon will hit the KWLT stage in June of 2026! Take Lucy Van Pelt’s (renowned) advice and don’t miss a chance to catch Charlie, Snoopy and their friends this summer
YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC. www.concordtheatricals.com
