Happiness Is ... Charlie Brown You're a good man, Charlie Brown ... the lights dim and sixteen children formed a picture around Charlie Brown. When the lights were raised once again, the children, including their pet dog, take their final bow. On May 9,10,11 and 12, Alliance High performed the spring play, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. The play was an uplifting, colorful play, full of music, comedy, and a lot of action. For four nights, the Alliance High stage was turned into the land of comic strips and children. Through each scene throughout the play, Peanuts members are shown in various situations through the day, handling their problems with humor and wit. The play ended in a total success. Besides the satisfaction of this success, cast members felt something deeper. Play pianist Vesta Curtiss smiled a little as she commented, When the play started, we were just a group with a common goal, but during the two months of rehearsals, we got to know each other better. We supported each other and shared many special moments, which united us and gave us strength to do our four great performances! With the last lingering notes of the piano. Alliance High theatre settled down to rest for the summer, saying its final good-bye to many of its faces,but yet welcoming into its presence, many new faces.
