For the Herald
Several upcoming events are being planned at the Heyde Center for the Arts in Chippewa Falls in the coming weeks.
A production of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” will be presented at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 23-25, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 26.
Opening in New York in 1967 with an adult cast, this musical comedy went through forty thousand productions, involving two hundred and 40,000 different performers. The action takes place during an average day in the life of Charlie Brown, with short vignettes about all the characters.
Fun, laughter and sincerity build the mood of the play, as we learn how much the characters really like each other in spite of their bickering. Come join the Peanuts gang in this fast-paced lighthearted musical guaranteed to please audiences of all ages. Directed by Rick Olson.
Admission is $10 for adults, $9 for seniors and $6 for students or $30 for a family of four.
