The beloved “Peanuts” comic comes to life in this classical musical. Bossy Lucy is hopelessly in love with piano prodigy Schroeder, who does not give her the time of day. Perfectionist Sally is still mocking blanket-toting Linus. Snoopy is in the doghouse and Charlie Brown is in rare form. The brief vignettes span a few months from Valentine’s Day to Beethoven Day, from wild optimism to despair. Charlie Brown and the entire Peanuts gang explore life’s great questions as they play baseball, struggle with homework, sing songs, swoon over their crushes, and celebrate the joy of friendship.
Returning to our beloved, historic theater located at 2450 W. Main Street, Littleton, CO. With new safety protocols and precautions in place, we look forward to seeing you soon at THAC! Thank you for your support during these unprecedented times. We hope to continue to bring high quality live entertainment as we have for almost 40 years!
