Metropolitan Performing Arts Presents YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN This Holiday Season!

Good grief! Follow the antics of good old Charlie Brown as he spends a day pondering the meaning of life. In between kite-flying escapades, baseball games, and failed attempts to win the heart of The Little Red-Haired Girl, he finds support and friendship with Linus, his sister Sally, nemesis Lucy, musical genius Schroeder - and, of course, man's best friend, Snoopy! Fun for the whole family, come see the timeless Peanuts characters come to life in this fun, high-spirited musical.

This production features MPA students ages 12-22 years old who are part of the musical theater program. The show is directed by Dylan Sladky, a 2005 graduate of Vancouver School of Arts and Academics. Music direction by Ian Timmons and choreography by Shannon Jung. "This is a world where even the least likely candidate for Happiness is reminded time and time again that they are not just worthy of it, but that maybe they have more Happiness in their life than they realize. Maybe everyone does. Maybe we all just need to be reminded of it. And maybe that's what makes Charlie Brown such a good man after all." - Dylan Sladky, director
