What did our critic think of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN at The Belmont Theatre? A musical produced in a black box theater with only six cast members is an ambitious challenge for a community theater. With the up-close environment, every performer must be both a talented actor and accomplished vocalist. Although not without a few missteps, this hilarious production of You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown at The Belmont Theatre showcases six remarkably talented performers.
