The Lopez Community Theatre presents a Lopez Youth Theatre Production of “You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown.” Auditions are for Lopez youth in grades fourth through sixth and will be held on Wednesday, May 7 and Thursday May 8 from 6-8 p.m in the music room at the Lopez Elementary School. Bring a poem or short reading to the audition. Be prepared to sing. Prepare a song or the organizers will have something for you. Kids will also be asked to read from the script. If possible, memorize your reading. Scripts will be available for reading at the Lopez Library but not for checkout.

The following roles are available: Charlie Brown, Linus, Schroeder, Lucy, Patty and Snoopy.

Rehearsals will begin on May 10. Performances will be on July 15-18. Rehearsals will generally be held Mondays through Fridays from 4-7 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. -2 p.m. Actors will not be expected to be at all rehearsals, only those for the scenes they are in.

There is also a need for youth who prefer to work backstage in the following areas: sets, costumes, props, stage management and publicity. Come to rehearsals with your contact information.

Proceeds from “You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown” will benefit the Lopez Island Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support programming at the Lopez Island School, grades K-12. “You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown” is sponsored in part by the Lopez Island Family Resource Center and the Lopez Island Library.

Alan Di Bona will direct the production. Ingrid Vliet is the musical director. Rona De Graff will assist. Choreography will be by Andrea O’ Bryant. Contact Alan with questions. You may call him at 468-3175 or email him at dibona@rockisland.com.
