You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown features music and lyrics by Clark Gesner, who in an interview told Tams-Witmark Music Library: “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.”
The Backstage Theater Company is a student-run performing arts club on the Farmingdale campus.
