Performances take place at Playwrights Theatre, 33 Green Village Road in Madison, NJ.

You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown is the first co-production between The Madison Recreation Department and Playwrights Theatre, which has been located in Madison for 25 years. This summer, 10 talented young people from the town will take the stage to bring Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters to life on Playwrights Theatre’s stage in the Green Village Road School building — this will be the last full production in the space. We are pleased that this exceptional play celebrating the joy of growing into a unique individual will be the final show in a place where so many young people have developed their own imaginations and sense of self.
