“You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown, The Musical”
By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Member American Theatre Critics Association (ATCA) Member Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS) Charlie Brown and his dog Snoopy are just two of the characters from the inspired pen of cartoonist Charles Schultz, the creator of “Peanuts”, who turned his young characters into the world’s most beloved ‘gang of young children’ who in retrospect look suspiciously a lot like us. With the Pandemic now about 75% corralled in America, thanks to

America’s live stage venues have been closed for over 14 months. Theatre and film fans have been hungry for entertainment. PCT’s current production is a feast for the eyes and ears as well as for its nostalgia of a different time. One can’t help reflecting backward to our own childhood experiences and memories when watching it.
