Welcome from Head of School
We are thrilled you have come to our Middle School production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown! Each year, our students work hard to give us delightful performances. This fall, their entertaining talents will not only warm our hearts but also give us all a well-needed boost and a welcome respite from the storm. Our actors rehearsed under the most unusual of circumstances. They practiced outdoors and with social distancing. They did it with diligence and good cheer and we are incredibly proud of their efforts. Sit back and enjoy this engaging story of Snoopy and his gang as they weave their way through all sorts of charming situations. You will leave with happy hearts!
- Sharon Koenings, Head of School

Director’s Note
It has been such a joy to work with our scholars to give life to the timeless characters created by Charles Schultz. The Peanuts gang are a delightfully flawed group of children who teach us some beautiful life lessons. As you know, this year has been challenging for everyone, and yet, the cast and crew of this show approached the work with a spirit of friendship and joy. I am so proud of each and every one of them. My sincerest thanks to all the parents for your support and flexibility. Thank you to Mrs. Koenings, Mrs. Doble, and Mr. Schultz for this opportunity and their tireless efforts to continue our Arts program. Finally, thank you to my talented, wonderful cohorts Rebecca Auskings, Darcy Devens, Susan Jeide, and Joey Welden for making this production look and sound fabulous!
