Celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2025, the classic Peanuts gang comes to life in this musical adaptation of Charles M. Schulz’s beloved mid-century comic strip. Originally debuting off-Broadway in 1967, this vibrant production revolves around the daily antics of Charlie Brown and friends Schroeder, Lucy, Sally, Linus and Snoopy, who push and pull each other through various musical numbers and escapades. Ultimately, through an environment of friendship, Charlie and generations of audiences have had the opportunity to come together as a community and explore what being a ‘good man’ really means, which is treating others with respect and empathy.

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS

SEPT 13 - 22, 2024
A MAINSTAGE PRODUCTION

WRITTEN BY ROBERT BOLT

DIRECTED BY JEFF GLICKMAN

A Man For All Seasons is a captivating historical drama originally set in 16th-century England during the reign of King Henry VIII. This production will transport the story to the Cold War era, offering a unique perspective on the timeless themes of morality and political struggle.

The play delves into the moral and political challenges faced by Sir Thomas More, a devout Catholic and loyal subject of the King. As Henry VIII, driven by his desire to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn, clashes with the Catholic Church, he demands unwavering loyalty from his subjects.

Amidst the political turmoil of the mid-20th century, More refuses to endorse Henry's divorce and breaks with the Pope, citing his conscience and principles. Despite pressure from friends, family, and the King, Moore remains steadfast in his beliefs, ultimately leading to his downfall.
