Sunday was the final performance of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, and it marked the wrap-up for the Peanutsapalooza event, which combined that classic musical with its sequel, Snoopy!! The Musical.
Kudos to the cast, crew and directing team for putting together an outstanding series of shows! When the director, my pal Clint McElroy, first proposed the idea, I told him, "You're crazy."
But it's a good kind of crazy - he succeeded in crafting a one-of-a-kind theatre event (along with lots of help from his directing team, of course), the young actors involved had a great experience, and the shows were terrific - my hat's off to one and all!
These were the second and third shows in this 20th Anniversary season for First Stage Theatre Company - and there's one more show to go!
The group's final show will also be its first original production. Playwright Jonathan Joy has written a non-musical show called The First Day of Summer, and the show is in rehearsal now, and will take the stage at the Huntington Museum of Art in May.
More on that one in the days ahead!
