You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

During the last two weekends of September, Fairmount Christian Church’s drama department is performing the Broadway musical, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” This musical, based on Charles Schultz’s beloved “Peanuts” comic strip, follows Charlie Brown through an ordinary day in which he learns some extraordinary lessons in perseverance, friendship, and the value of a pencil.

Fairmount’s dramas and musicals over the past decade have exposed our church and our mission to tens of thousands of people. Like our Block Party, Fall Festival, and other events, we provide great family entertainment for our community. Fairmount has become known for this type of outreach and it gives us a unique inroad into reaching families who live in our area and beyond.

“You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” is a staple of theaters and theater departments across the country. Its well-known characters and rollicking show tunes make it a favorite of audiences—and performers—of all ages. Like the comic strip on which it is based, the musical is infused with simple life lessons: the value of family and friends, finding joy in the little things, and not flying your kite too close to a tree.

Fairmount’s drama and music departments are pleased to present seven free performances of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Thursday, September 20th at 7pm. Friday, September 21st at 7pm. Saturday, September 22nd at 2pm and 7pm. Friday, September 28th at 7pm. Saturday, September 29th at 2pm and 7pm. Mark your calendars for a show and tell your friends, neighbors, coworkers, dentist, store clerk, and everyone else you meet to come see “Charlie Brown.”

It’s a little-known fact you’ll leave happy.
