You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown
Based on The Comic Strip “Peanuts”
by Charles M. Schulz
Book, Music and Lyrics by Clark Gesner
Additional Dialogue by Michael Mayer
Additional Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Directed by David Seitz; Music Direction by Kathleen Berger
YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of
Tams Witmark LLC. www.concordtheatricals.com
- With charm, wit, and heart, You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown explores life through the eyes of Charlie Brown and his friends in the Peanuts gang. This revue of songs and vignettes, based on the beloved Charles Schulz comic strip, is the ideal first show for those who would like to do a musical. Musical numbers include "My Blanket and Me," "The Kite," "The Baseball Game," "Little Known Facts," "Suppertime," and "Happiness."
*Please note that in the world of the Peanuts characters, age does not matter. They are all “kids.”
CHARLIE BROWN:A lovable loser, a child possessed of endless determination and hope, but who is ultimately dominated by his insecurities and a "permanent case of bad luck.” He is often taken advantage of by his peers.
LINUS VAN PELT: He is Lucy's little brother. Linus always means well and tries to smooth over any storms that arise amongst the gang. A source of frustration for him is Lucy, who always belittles him, particularly over his “stupid blanket” which is always at his side. He is Charlie Brown’s best friend.
LUCY VAN PELT: A crabby, bossy, selfish girl! She is especially mean to Charlie Brown and her “stupid” little brother Linus. Lucy is in love with Schroeder, who has NO interest in her whatsoever. Lucy is loud, obnoxious and has a very strong personality.
SALLY BROWN: Charlie Brown’s younger sister. Sally has a "take it easy" approach to life, preferring to slide by while doing as little work as possible. She is hopelessly in love with Linus. Sally has philosophies on life although they are not the most well thought out philosophies.
SCHROEDER: He has a precocious skill at playing the piano, as well as by his love of classical music and the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. Lucy is infatuated with Schroeder, but since Beethoven is a lifelong bachelor, Schroeder feels that he must emulate every aspect of his idol's life.
SNOOPY: He is Charlie Brown's pet beagle and is owned and cared for by Charlie Brown, although at times it is not clear who is in charge. Snoopy is blessed with a rich fantasy life.
Perusal scripts for Love, Death & Beyond and You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown will be available at the GCC Library Circulation Desk beginning January, 11, 2022.

The Bridge Initiative presents A FEMININE ENDING and JUST BE, January 14-22, 2022
The Bridge Initiative returns to Tempe Center for the Arts with A Feminine Ending and just be in January 2022. Both offerings interrogate gender and identity in different and complementary ways. The performances run Friday, January 14th through Saturday, January 22nd, 2022, tickets $12-$30 (plus fees) with a discount if you purchase tickets to both events.
In a regional premiere from Sarah Treem (TV’s The Affair, House of Cards, In Treatment), directed by Daniela Crispo, A Feminine Ending is a gentle, bittersweet comedy about a girl who knows what she wants, but not quite how to get it. Having recently graduated from a major conservatory, and with a rocker boyfriend on the brink of stardom, aspiring composer Amanda Blue’s “extraordinary life” seems to be all mapped out. But when she runs home to answer her mother’s distress call, Amanda’s grand plan starts to unravel. The play offers no easy answers for a woman's quest to find her voice.
Local theatre artist Maybe Stewart and their ensemble of actors then ask: What does it mean to truly find yourself? What would it look like to let yourself just be? Using the playwright’s personal narrative as a jumping-off point, this interactive evening of poetry, movement, theatre, and conversation explores gender, trauma, and identity in a unique, vulnerable, and piercingly honest format. This world premiere staged workshop presentation is the second step in the piece's evolution from concept to full production. Content warning: mature themes, including trans/BIPOC trauma, child abuse, and sexual assault.
As a preview for these events, Bridge curates a dialogue with directors Crispo and Stewart, joined by original New York producer of A Feminine Ending, Billy Russo, in a program called Monthly Muse, Sunday, January 9th, 2022, part of Building Bridges @ ASU Kerr. The program will feature scenes from both productions as well as Q&A with the creatives to learn about the origins of the work and the process for Bridge's productions.
A Feminine Ending and just be are partially funded by a City of Tempe Wavemaker Arts Grant. Evening performances 7:30pm, matinees 3:00 pm, January 14-22, 2022, at Tempe Center for the Arts, 700 W. Rio Salado, Tempe, AZ 85281. Tickets $12/$15 students/seniors; $15/30 general admission; $25 VIP seats (plus fees); discounts for the purchase of both shows, and for residents of Tempe: https://www.tempecenterforthearts.com/events/resident-artists/the-bridge-initiative
Monthly Muse is produced by The Bridge Initiative in collaboration with ASU Kerr, 6110 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85253, and funded in part by Scottsdale Arts. Tickets pay-what-you-wish from $5 students; $10 general admission (plus fees): https://www.ticketmaster.com/ASU-Kerr-Cultural-Center-tickets-Scottsdale/venue/204827
