FIRST PERSON SINGULAR presents GRIEF IS GOOD: The Daily Existentialism of Peanuts

Unrequited love. Writer's block. Crises of faith. Sabotage. Anxiety. Depression. Psychiatric help. Security blankets. What does it add up to? The life of your average eight-year-old. At least according to Charles Schulz and the millions of readers who, for fifty years, id...entified with a pint-sized everyman named Charlie Brown. In Peanuts, heartache was as regular as the morning paper, but for all the tree-eating kites, remote little-red-haired girls, and rained-out baseball games life could dish out, there were also sympathetic beagles and philosophical siblings around to put things in perspective. Running to kick a football you know will be snatched away is both insane and heroic - in a word, human - and for this holiday special, we'll celebrate the deep humanity of Peanuts - the nation's most beloved comic strip. Seven of our favorite local actors will bring the dialogues, monologues, and doghouse meditations of Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, Peppermint Patty, Sally Brown, and Snoopy to life, accompanied by Richard Leiter, pianist for the CBS Charlie Brown specials. Don't - AAUGH! - miss it.
