EARLVILLE – This weekend, Charles Schulz’ “Peanuts” gang takes the stage at the Earlville Opera House for three performances of the 1967 musical “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown.”

Show time for “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” is Saturday July 20 at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday July 21 at 2:30 p.m.

Join Charlie Brown and his friends, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Schroeder and Patty as they go through the daily trials of being kids.

The cast is comprised of Charlie Brown (James Moren), Lucy (Kaitlyn Jackson), Linus (Zeke Miller), Snoopy (Tracy Ann Owens), Schroeder (Ben Gorton) and Patty (Marie Moren). Produced by the Sherburne Music Theater Society, the production is directed by Mark Sands.

Sands said that the six members of this cast have come together and are now a close-knit group. He said that he has thoroughly enjoyed the last seven weeks working with them and the show is top notch. He is also hoping that the many area community members who came to support his work on 22 Norwich High School productions will come to support this cast this weekend. It is a fun show not to be missed.

Members of the cast had the following to say:

James Moren – “I haven't been in a musical since high school and I'm glad that I chose to take part in "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown". The past 7 weeks of rehearsals have been a blur for all the right reasons. I hope everyone enjoys the show!”

Kaitlyn Jackson – “This show is perfect for all ages. It’s cute and captivating for young audiences and nostalgic and funny for adults. The show offers hilarious commentary on the inner workings of a child’s mind and does a 180-degree turn exploring new emotions and working to discover what is fact and what is make believe.”

Tracy Ann Owens – “The role of Snoopy has been very enjoyable. This is a show that the whole family can attend. It’s disappointing that all our hard work will come to an end this weekend. So, don’t miss your chance to see it.”

Marie Moren – “This show has been wonderful, and I have absolutely loved participating in it. Playing Patty has been so much fun. I hope SMTS is around a long time so that I can continue to have an outlet for my love of theater. I can’t wait for next year’s show.”

Zeke Miller – “It has been an inspirational experience working with such talented people. You’re in for a treat traveling through a day in a child’s heart as he discovers inner happiness. There is nothing like childhood friends to build a life of mindful appreciation.”

Ben Gorton – “I decided to audition for the play because of my friends James and Marie Moren. However, I can now say that I have more friends, Zeke, Kaitlyn and Tracy. We’re not just a group of actors performing but, a group of friends which will show through as we bring the Peanuts gang to life.
