'A Charlie Brown Christmas' at Villagers Theatre

Villagers Theatre presents "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

The show performs at 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturdays and 12 p.m. on Sundays from December 14 to 21. Tickets are $10 and are available online.

When Charlie Brown complains about the materialism surrounding Christmas, Lucy suggests that he direct the school Christmas pageant. He accepts, but it proves to be a frustrating struggle. When an attempt to restore the proper spirit with a forlorn little Christmas tree fails, Linus steps in to restore the real meaning of Christmas.

During the run of the show, the theatre will be accepting donation on Second Chance for Animals. Please feel free to bring donations such as canned dog or cat food (no fish), pet toys, dish detergent, sponges and place them under the "Snoopy" Tree in our lobby. Handmade ornaments to color and place on the tree will also be available at a cost of $1.00 each. 100% of all donations will be given to Second Chance for Animals and will directly benefit the Franklin Township Animal Shelter. Further information about the organization is available here.

The show is written by Bill Melendez, Lee Mendelsen, and Eric Schaeffer. This production is made possible through special arrangement with Arthur Whitelaw and Ruby Persson. It is directed by Emily Russoniello, stage managed by David Learn, and produced by Marie Fiorello.

The cast features Joseph Kalet as Charlie Brown, Ruth Learn as Snoopy, Felicity Howard as Lucy, Andrew Russoniello as Linus, Dari Russoniello as Pigpen, Nicole Sheik as Violet, Madison Whiting as Patty, Hady Aoun as Schroeder, Michael Aoun as Shermy, Maggie Johnson as Sally, Sierra Martinez as Frieda, and Gracie Calig, Kelsey Luckenbaugh, Natalie Sheik, Corinna Caimi, Eowyn Learn, Anne Learn, Amanda Aoun, Angela Aoun, and Victoria Zorilla as the ensemble.
