The musical tells the story of an average day in the life of the famous comic-strip child hero, Charlie Brown, as well as the rest of the Peanuts gang: Linus, Lucy, Sally, Schroeder, Peppermint Patty and the lovable Snoopy.

They share their largely negative observations of Charlie Brown. As the musical progresses, the relationships of the Peanuts characters to one another are further expanded.

Lucy is infatuated with Schroeder and takes great pleasure in tormenting Charlie Brown. Linus loves his blanket. Snoopy lives in his rich imagination. Charlie Brown is in love with a mysterious little redheaded girl.

The show ends with each character listing things that for him/her equal happiness. Finally, Lucy ends up telling Charlie Brown what a good man he is.

Mia Tepper is the director, and Darcie Bishop is vocal director.

Kaitlyn Brown is the choreographer, and Dennis Malinski is the orchestra director.
