The classic animated television special “A Charlie Brown Christmas” comes to life in this faithful stage adaptation being presented by Roswell Youth Theatre premiering Dec. 14.
Tis the season to celebrate everyone’s favorite Peanuts pals as they dig past the commercialized gimmicks of presents and decorations to rediscover the true meaning of Christmas. When Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism he sees among everyone during the Christmas season, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant. Charlie Brown accepts, but this proves to be a frustrating endeavor. Through a pageant and a spindly tree, Charlie Brown and friends bring the holiday spirit back to life for families once again! “And for Charlie Brown, it was truly the merriest Christmas ever.”
Roswell Youth Theatre will present “A Charlie Brown Christmas” on Dec.14 at 7 p.m., Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. and December 16 at 2 and 7 p.m. Performances will be held at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center located at 950 Forrest St, Roswell, Ga 30075.
