A Charlie Brown Double Bill

December 1-20

A Manitoba Theatre for Young People Production

Connections: Friendship, Finding Happiness, Live Music

Charlie Brown has had a rough year and just cannot get into Christmas. When he is asked to direct the pageant, he is determined to turn things around. Plus, everyone’s favourite accident-prone boy tries to muster up the courage to talk to the little red-haired girl.

Double your fun with this musical holiday classic for the entire classroom!

“A charming double bill…A story about finding happiness in the sometimes confusing and challenging world of being a kid.” – CBC Radio

Indoor Shoes
A Charlie Brown Double Bill is performed in the round. The actors will be using the same entrances and exits as the audience. In order to alleviate any puddles and stones that may make their way into the theatre, please make sure your students have indoor shoes. There will be a designated area in the lobby to change and leave your outdoor shoes. (Slip on covers will be provided if indoor shoes are forgotten).
