Charlie Brown, Snoopy Coming to Campus
April 18, 2016
Good grief! Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Patty and all the neighborhood kids are coming to Farmingdale next week, in the amusing musical comedy, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
The Backstage Theater Company is presenting a matinee and two evening performances April 29 and 30 in the Little Theater at Roosevelt Hall.
Friday, April 29 has an 8 p.m. show, and performances on Saturday, the 30th are scheduled for 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. The public is invited, and tickets 
are priced are $10 and must be purchased in advance. Admission is free for Farmingdale students with a valid ID.
You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown is based on characters from the “Peanuts” comic strip immortalized by the late Charles Schultz. It features music and lyrics by Clark Gesner, who in an interview told Tams-Witmark Music Library: “None of the cast is actually six years old. And they don’t really look like Charles Schulz’ ‘Peanuts’ cartoon characters. But this doesn’t seem to make that much difference once we are into the play, because what they are saying to each other is with the openness of that early childhood time, and the obvious fact is that they are all really quite fond of each other.”
