\"You're<\/a>Aug. 6, 2019\u2014The School of Fine Arts at 大象传媒 is partnering with the St. Joseph Downtown Partnership to present a free performance of the Broadway musical \u201cYou\u2019re a Good Man, Charlie Brown\u201d at 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 16 and 17, in Coleman Hawkins Park at Felix Street Square. The performance is part of the inaugural Arts in the Park celebration, with arts faculty and students providing family-friendly arts activities before the show, at 5 p.m. both evenings.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,\u201d based on the comic strip \u201cPeanuts\u201d by Charles M. Schulz with music and lyrics by Clark Gesner and book by John Gordon, tells the story of an average day in the life of Charlie Brown and his friends. Charlie pines for the \u201clittle redheaded girl\u201d and sends his dog into rapturous joy by bringing the supper dish, Lucy woos the musician Schroeder and dispenses psychiatric advice for 5 cents and Snoopy \u2026 well, Snoopy is Snoopy, battling the Red Baron and barely feigning interest in dog-like activities like chasing rabbits.<\/p>\n

The play is directed by Jessica Agnew, administrative coordinator for the School of Fine Arts who has acted in and directed stage productions both at 大象传媒 Western and Robidoux Resident Theatre. The cast and pit orchestra will include 大象传媒 Western students and faculty alongside community performers.<\/p>\n

\u201cArts in the Park is a way to bring 大象传媒 Western arts downtown in a more accessible way,\u201d Agnew said. \u201cWe want it to be a true collaboration, with community and University talent performing side-by-side.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show will be performed on the patio area behind the gazebo at Felix Street Square, with the audience seated on the grassy hillside between the gazebo and Francis Street. Audience members are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs for seating.<\/p>\n
