Drama Club brings comic strip alive on stage PLufinCf Never before had Parkland performed a Fall Musical. Starting practice in mid-August, the cast and crew of “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” readied itself for two shows. On the first night of the play, attendance was low, but when word spread, 400 people saw the second performance. The musical was about the everyday life of the characters of the comic strip. Charlie Brown was played by senior Chris Renaud, who said, “I had never held the lead part in a musical before, so I found it quite challenging.” As a matter of fact, Chris had no musical training either. “My lack of musical talent, made hitting the high notes difficult,” he said. Senior Wanda Caulkins, who played Lucy, said, “Charlie Brown was a great experience for everyone involved. The cast and crew and audience seemed to have Mrs. Nancy Carthew, director, felt the experiment was well worth the time and effort. “Naturally they were excellent,” she added. She then said how hard the crew had worked, but there was also a bit of difficulty in arranging the Fall Musical. Getting the crew all together during their summer vacation was one major problem. Senior Tammy Richelderfer, who attended the play, commented, “I thought the character of Charlie Brown was real and lifelike compared to the comic strip.” Mr. Ralph Frederick, history teacher, said, “I was very impressed with the set, especially the kite and the leaf. The students in the play did a fine job too.” Judy Yanders, senior, commented, “The fact that most of the characters were seniors made the play go much smoother since they had two years of experience already under their belt.” a really good time. 16 Student Life
