Growing up, I've gathered quite a number of friends that remain friends until now. My childhood friends include Linus, Sally, Schroeder, Lucy, Charlie and Snoopy. Yes, you read it right...the Peanuts Gang! And they were friends with kids from other generations as well, having been created by Charles M. Schultz (1922 - 2000) as a syndicated daily and American comic strip that ran from October 2, 1950 until February 13, 2000 but continue to this day.
Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang
So why am I blogging about Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang? It's because I learned that 9Works Theatrical will be staging "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" in February 2012. How cute can that be? The show will be directed by Michael Williams and assisted by Christopher de Venecia.
The cast include Tonipet Gaba as Schroeder, Robbie Guevara as Charlie Brown, Mio Infante as Linus, Carla Guevara-Laforteza as Lucy, Sweet Plantado as Sally Brown, and Lorenz Martinez as Snoopy.
About Charles M. Schultz
Charles M. Schulz (1922 - 2000) was born on November 26, 1922 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Affectionately referred to as "Sparky," Schulz was a shy, introverted child. He mailed his submissions in to art school rather than attending in person. After being drafted into World War II, Schulz returned home and took a position as a teacher at the same art school (which is now known as The Art Instruction School, Inc.) in Minneapolis. There Schulz would make friends with a boy named Charlie Brown and unfortunately have his heart broken by a little red haired girl.
