You're a Good Man Charlie Brown

You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown
**Important please note change of audition date**

A program note says that the time of the action is “an average day in the life of Charlie Brown.” It really is just that, a day made up of little moments picked from all the days of Charlie Brown, from Valentine’s Day to the baseball season, from wild optimism to utter despair, all mixed in with the lives of his friends (both human and non-human) and strung together on the string of a single day, from bright uncertain morning to hopeful starlit evening.
CHARACTERS

Charlie Brown (Baritone/Tenor)
feels sorry for himself, lacks initiative, philosophical in a pessimistic way

Lucy (Mezzo/Alto)
overbearing, brutally honest, says what she thinks without thought to social boundaries

Schroeder (High Baritone/Tenor)
Lucy's reluctant boyfriend, a sensitive musician

Linus (Baritone/Tenor)
Lucy's little brother, fanatical about his blanket

Sally Brown (Soprano/Mezzo)
Charlie's little sister

Snoopy (Tenor/Baritone)
Imaginative!
