Running from June 22 – August 5 is a theatre “family favorite,” You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, directed by Tim Moore. Based on the beloved comic Peanuts, this updated classic enjoyed a successful run on Broadway. The show is a day made up of little moments picked from all the days of Charlie Brown, from Valentine’s Day to the baseball season, from wild optimism to utter despair, all mixed in with the lives of his friends (both human and non-human) and strung together on the string of a single day, from bright uncertain morning to hopeful starlit evening. Two new songs, Beethoven Day and My New Philosophy, are added to a score which includes the wonderful numbers The Baseball Game, Suppertime and Happiness.

Decoration is the name of the game and what a perfect face for the festival’s theme.

This beautiful young lady struck a pose. When I began processing the photo I noticed she was standing with a garbage can. Strange, I didn’t notice at the time! So, I did a little Photoshop, much better.
