"You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown". According to Clark Gesner (Book,
Music and Lyrics), "A program note says that the time of the action is
"an average day in the life of Charlie Brown." It really is just that,
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. None of the cast is actually six years old. And they don't
really look like Charles Schulz' "Peanuts" cartoon characters. But
this doesn't seem to make that much difference once we are into the play,
because what they are saying to each other is with the openness of that early
childhood time, and the obvious fact is that they are all really quite fond of
each other."
