Schulz’s comic strip, Peanuts.  Clark Gesner wrote the story, music and lyrics.

“This musical tells the story of an ordinary day in the life of Charlie Brown,” stated Micah Montague, Hiwassee College Drama Instructor and Director.  He went on to say, “We have an amazing cast made up of Hiwassee College students, alumni, and other members of the community.  They will have you laughing along to your favorite characters from the comic strip.”
