Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (PTPA) is proud to present 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' on Sunday, Nov. 27, adapted for the stage by Eric Schaeffer and based on the Peanuts characters created by Charles M. Schultz.

The Emmy award-winning story by Charles Schulz has warmed the hearts of millions since first airing on television in 1965. Now, A Charlie Brown Christmas Live on Stage brings all 11 members of the Peanuts gang together for a presentation recreated for the stage. The cast featuring live, adult actors in street clothes, faithfully recreating their television counterparts, plus a live jazz trio playing the Vince Guaraldi score present the original vignettes with some new, big stage numbers. It's like watching the television special come to life (Around the Town Chicago), as Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and the rest mount a play, save a tree, and uncover the true meaning of Christmas. A sweet and touching, live action version that is itself an instant holiday classic (Broadway World).
