You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown

Dominique Plaisant directs Baruch students in this 1967 musical comedy. Clark Gezner wrote the book and lyrics, which are based Charles M. Schulz’s characters from the comic strip Peanuts. Gezner says “this musical is attributed to Schultz’s immensely human view of the world and his special ability to say it for all of us.” It’s a musical about life lessons seen under the umbrella of Schultz’s characters and how they navigate life together. Presented by the Department of Fine and Performing Arts. Performances run through May 4.
