As April 8th draws nearer, the high school drama club is working hard to perfect this year’s outstanding play: “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.”

Choreographing new dances, practicing lines, and running through scenes that never get old comprise just a few of the activities the team works on after school each day.  This year’s play is especially unique because it features a series of spellbinding vignettes, featuring the six main characters from the classic Peanuts comic strip: Charlie Brown (Cameron Smith), Lucy (Angelina Valente), Sally (Maddy Schmidt), Linus (Brady Smith), Schroeder (Cody Alvord), and Snoopy (John Turner).  Although there are only a few lead roles, the chorus, made up of roughly 20 members, plays a large part in a number of the songs.

To give readers a taste of what it’s like to be a cast member, EMC went behind the scenes and put together an exclusive picture story.  Below are just some of the pictures that were taken, with more to follow as the play’s opening day draws nearer.
