Directed by English teacher Jennifer Killingbeck, "You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown", based on the comic strip "Peanuts" by Charles M. Schulz, has book, music, and lyrics by Clark M. Gesner with additional dialogue and music by Michael Mayer and Andrew Lippa, respectively.

This musical is an average day in the life of Charlie Brown (played by Bryan Stowers). A day made up of little moments picked from all of the days of Charlie Brown and his friends. This day, like most others, is complicated unbearably by the distant presence of his true love, the "little red-headed girl", who is always just out of sight. True love also seems to be the only unmanageable element in the solid life of Charlie’s nemesis Lucy (Anne Kosakowski) as she tries to bulldoze her way through Schroeder’s (Curtis Lesnick) sensitive, musician’s heart. Lucy’s little brother, Linus (Conor Livingston), is thoughtful about many things but fanatical about his blanket, Patty (Jasmine Maletta) is sweet and utterly innocent, and Charlie Brown’s dog, Snoopy (Eli Muller), spends much of the time thinking of being something else. The interaction of the friends continues on throughout the day ending after supper with Lucy making a very un-Lucy-like gesture: She tells Charlie Brown what a good man he is.

Other members of the cast include Jenna Norgaard, Dani Paliga, Tyler Cerajewski, Miguel Vasquez, Jackie Santos, Maddie Hunt, Jeff Waltz, Ryan Thomalla, Cary Johnson, Allie Katsahanias, Sky Kintzel, and Elisabeth Kindmark. Student directors are Brittney Biddle and Maddie Hunt.
