Can a Good Man Come From So Much Doubt?
Charlie Brown, in the famous comic strip Peanuts, pondered real-life questions about the universe, friendship and love. Doubting his own worth and failing at everything he did, Charlie Brown reflected the insecurities we all feel in our lives. The “round-headed blockhead” could always be counted on to persevere despite constant failure. For 50 years, Charlie Brown and friends embodied truths about life through the creative genius of Charles M. Schulz.
Stage North brings all the wisdom of Charlie Brown and friends to the stage this Christmas with the popular musical You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown playing on December 29, 30 and 31 at the North Peace Cultural Centre in Fort St. John. Both young and old will appreciate the innocent yet poignant observations about life that Charlie Brown and his friends reveal in their search for happiness.
In this musical play, Charlie Brown (played by Zak Scott) questions if he really is a “good man” and is joined by Linus (Cody MacGillivray), Lucy (Erica Fisher) and Schroeder (Ted Sloan) in the proverbial search for happiness. Sally (Melanie Truscott) spouts her “new philosophy” while Snoopy (Jeremy Comte) reminds us that dogs have imaginations too. Whether you agree with Snoopy that birds are the crabgrass on the lawn of life or that dinnertime is the very best time of day, you will agree that Snoopy is long-suffering but patient and loyal as all dogs should be. Through the trauma of battling a kite-eating tree, the team work of winning the baseball game and the pressure of writing a book report about Peter Rabbit, Charlie Brown learns through little known facts that he is, indeed, a “good man”.
You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown is directed by Chalene Scott, a hometown girl and a recent graduate from Capilano University Theatre Program. Chalene has many stage credits to her name in Fort St. John and the lower Mainland. She taught summer theatre school in Fort St. John this past summer where she began to gather the talented cast and crew for this show.
A matinee on Saturday, December 31 will be held at 2pm and all evening shows are at 7:30pm. A special New Year’s Eve party will be held after the show on December 31, as is a tradition with Stage North. The Baldonnel School PAC organizes the family-friendly party as a fundraiser for their playground project.
There is no doubt that tickets for You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown make great Christmas presents and stocking stuffers. Tickets are available online at tickets.npcc.bc.ca or at the NPCC box office 250-785-1992. Check out www.stagenorth.ca
