You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown Is a 1967 Musical Comedy with Music and Lyrics by Clark Gesner, Based on the Characters Created by Cartoonist Charles M You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown is a 1967 musical comedy with music and lyrics by Clark Gesner, based on the characters created by cartoonist Charles M. Schulz in his comic strip Peanuts. Charles Schulz’s beloved comic comes to life. The whole gang is here: bossy Lucy is hopelessly in love with piano prodigy Schroeder who doesn’t give her the time of day, perfectionist Sally is still mocking blanket-toting Linus, Snoopy is in the doghouse, and “blockhead,” himself, Charlie Brown, is in rare form. Brief vignettes span the months from Valentine’s Day to Beethoven Day, from wild optimism to utter despair. In this revised version, with additional music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and dialogue by Michael Mayer, the sweet, joyful innocence of the Peanuts gang is maintained, but a fresh insouciance and playfulness is revealed. The new script features two new songs, particularly funny dialogue, and new, catchy orchestrations. Whether you’re keen to fly with the Red Baron, moon over the Moonlight Sonata, or just do your best to find “Happiness,” You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown is a crowd-pleasing classic. The show opened on March 7, 1967 and played for 1,597 performances in New York at the theatre 80 St. Marks. This version was revived on Broadway in 1971 and played for 32 performances at the John Golden Theatre. A new version (YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN ([REVISED]) was presented on Broadway in 1999 and played for 149 performances at the Ambassador Theatre with award-winning performances by Roger Bart and Kristin Chenoweth as Snoopy and Sally. 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 Schultz 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.” Guaranteed to please audiences of all ages!

If you want to be considered for the show but you do NOT want to sing in front of other people, that’s fine… but understand you will not be considered for a featured role.

This is totally an ensemble show and any dissent in there will be detrimental to the production. to consider the show an equal priority to any and all other extra-curricular activities. If you cannot – don’t audition. to be available and in attendance at all Tech Week Rehearsals, not to mention the subsequent shows themselves (May 5-13, 2018). Synopsis A program note says that the time of the action is “an average day in the life of Charlie Brown.” It really is just that, a day made up of little moments picked from all the days of Charlie Brown, from Valentine’s Day to the baseball season, from wild optimism to utter despair, all mixed in with the lives of his friends (both human and non-human) and strung together on the string of a single day, from bright uncertain morning to hopeful starlit evening. It seems to start off all right. After some brief comments on the nature of his character by his friends, Charlie Brown is swept into their center by a rousing tribute of only slightly qualified praise, in the song “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” He is then left to his own musings as he eats his lunch on the school playground, complicated unbearably by the distant presence of his true love, the “little redheaded girl,” who is always just out of sight. True love also seems to be the only unmanageable element in Lucy’s solid life, which we discover as we watch her try to bulldoze her way through to her boyfriend’s sensitive, six-year-old musician’s heart, in “Schroeder.” The little scenes then begin to accumulate, and we learn that Lucy’s little brother, Linus, is thoughtful about many things but fanatical when it comes to the matter of his blanket; that Patty is sweet and utterly innocent; and that Charlie Brown’s dog spends much if not most of his time thinking of being something else-a gorilla, a jungle cat, perhaps a handsome trophy or two-but that mostly his life is a pleasant one (“Snoopy”). The events continue to trickle on. Linus enjoys a private time with his most favorite thing of all (“My Blanket and Me”), Lucy generously bothers to inform him of her ambition-of-the-moment, to become a queen with her own queendom, and then Charlie Brown lurches in for still another bout with his own friendly enemy, “The Kite.” Valentine’s Day comes and goes with our hero receiving not one single valentine, which brings him to seek the temporary relief of Lucy’s five-cent psychiatry booth (“The Doctor Is In”). We then watch as four of our friends go through their individual struggles with the homework assignment of writing a hundred word essay of Peter Rabbit in “The Book Report.” Act Two roars in with Snoopy lost in another world atop his dog house. As a World War One flying ace, he does not bring down the infamous Red Baron in today’s battle but we know that someday, someday he will. The day continues. We learn of the chaotic events of the Very Little League’s “Baseball Game” as Charlie Brown writes the news to his pen pal. Lucy is moved to conduct a personal survey to find out just how crabby she really is, and all the group gathers for a misbegotten rehearsal of a song they are to sing in assembly. It is “Suppertime,” and Snoopy once more discovers what wild raptures just the mere presence of his full supper dish can send him into. And then it is evening. The gathered friends sing a little about their individual thoughts of “Happiness” and then they go off, leaving Lucy to make a very un-Lucy-like gesture: she tells Charlie Brown what a good man he is. None of the cast is actually six years old. And they don’t really look like Charles Schulz’s Peanuts cartoon characters.

  • Chapter One Introduction
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Human beings spend almost two third of their time on earning money for life and one third of their time for entertainment. Watching television, listening to radio and reading books/newspaper/comics are some examples of leisure activities. As one of entertainment materials, comic is a mass medium which illustrates the story with pictures in sequences. It is written by an author who intends to deliver his/her idea to the readers. By combining words indicating speech inside the balloons with images, the author presents his/her ideas to be understood by his/her reader. Devices such as speech balloons and boxes are used to indicate dialogues and to establish information, while panels, layout, gutters and zip ribbons are more to facilitate the flow of the story. Today, comics are found in newspapers, magazines, comic books, graphic novels, and on the web. As a means of communication, language is very important for the author in order to present his/her idea, thought, feeling and desire. Searle (1969:24) says that language is a part of a theory of actions, and speech acts are those verbal acts, or more precisely illocutionary acts, such as promising, threatening and requesting, that one performs in speaking. As one of the classifications of illocutionary acts, directive is the reflection and description of the intention of speaker use to get someone else to do something (Yule, 1996:54). Request, as one 2 verb of directive acts, is the realization of the speaker’s desire in order to make the hearer do what the speaker wants.

  • Audition Sides and Character Breakdown Seeking Actors Ages 10-18 for the Following Roles
    Audition Sides and Character Breakdown Seeking Actors ages 10-18 for the following roles CHARLIE BROWN- The everyman; with ever changing moods; both befriended and ostracized by all; a loser-yet-leader who is often depressed but rises out of every downfall with shining hope and determination. Personality-wise, he is gentle, insecure, and lovable. Charlie Brown possesses significant determination and hope but frequently fails because of his insecurities, outside interference, or plain bad luck. While he can be smart, he over-thinks things SNOOPY - (male or female) Charlie Brown’s pet beagle. A genuinely happy dog; full of energy, imagination and sass; known for his “happy dance” and his numerous alter-egos. Snoopy is very popular in the neighborhood. A physical, more than speaking, role. LUCY - Linus’s older sister; bossy and a know-it-all, but very smart and a natural leader; has a crush on Schroeder; is ready to be older than her age; interests include psychiatry and real estate. Most of the comic strips she appears in show her threatening, complaining and/or taunting. She is easy to anger when she does not get what she wants. Occasionally, she is shown doing something selfless and caring to others when she is calmer, especially to Linus, the keyword being occasionally. LINUS- Charlie Brown’s blanket-toting best friend; Sally’s love interest; the most insecure but the smartest of all the characters; an intellectual, a philosopher, a theologian. SALLY - The youngest of the group; Charlie Brown’s little sister who has a crush on Linus; is adorable and spunky but often overreacts to situations.

Hauntingly, his words speak as a message to all of us on how to live our lives. They certainly ref lect how he lived his. Peace, Mr. Guyton. God bless you. Good Evening Ladies & Gentlemen, Tonight we celebrate the life of Charles Schulz--illustrator, writer, and creator of the Peanuts characters. What we are presenting on stage is an average day in the life of Charlie Brown. These vignettes range from baseball season, Charlie Brown missing the bus, Valentine’s Day, and a series of other typical events in the land of the Peanuts characters. It is our hope that you will f ind yourself thinking back over your lif e, and reminiscing on your childhood. Maybe thinking about old friends, school ass ignments you had trouble with, friends who think they know it all, challenges you’ve had to deal with, etc. Take those thoughts and memories and then reflect on the ‘now’ moments in life. Hopefully the good outweighs the bad and from there, you can settle on happiness, and being happy with your life. Happiness: What is it to you? A feeling of satisfaction or fulfillment, when your lif e f ulf ills your needs, when you are content and are living in the now—reflecting on the good things you have been blessed to have.
