From the CUTC site:
You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, (Revised) leads the season with a one-weekend run at Parkland College Theatre, March 27-30. A small ensemble cast leads us through a delightful series of short scenes representing an average day in the life of Charlie Brown. This wonderfully iconic musical, with book, music, and lyrics by Clark Gesner (additional dialogue by Michael Mayer and additional music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa) is based on the comic strip Peanuts, created by Charles Schultz, which featured characters including Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and Lucy. The musical premiered Off-Broadway in 1967 and opened on Broadway in 1971, following a US tour of 202 performances during 1970. It returned to Broadway in 1999 and has since become a favorite production of community theatres across the country.
