WILLARD — The "Peanuts" cartoon strips will come to life as the Willard High School Theatre Dept. presents the Tony award-winning, Broadway musical "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" at 7 p.m. Friday, March 24, and 2 p.m. Saturday, March 25. In the photos Jaina Goble, Candice Smith, Sofia Phillips, Araceli Obando and Julian Blackburn prepare for the show. It's a good time for all ages. See Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Sally, Schroeder, Lucy and Linus dance and sing in this fantastic show filled with their special brand of childhood high-jinx. Watch the Peanuts gang encounter times of innocent joys and childhood dilemmas. They play baseball, struggle with homework, swoon over their crushes, ponder life, and celebrate their friendships. Based on the comics of Charles M. Schultz, "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" was written by Clark Gesner. This whimsical, fun-loving, and charming musical originally opened in 1967 and has been revived many times. Tickets for You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown are $6 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. They will be available at the front doors of the high school starting 30 minutes before each performance.
