"You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" is directed by West Hartford resident Patrice Fitzgerald, "After taking a few years off, our volunteer committee was determined to back the UU Players," said Fitzgerald. "The Peanuts' characters rely on each other overcome challenges, and it's those same qualities of love, support and loyalty that the cast and crew of the Universalist Players demonstrate during the rehearsal process, and that we'll showcase on the stage when we perform 'You're A
Good Man, Charlie Brown' this March 27-29."
