Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre announces cast for “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”

By Sue Suchyta

            Director Marc Walentowicz of the Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre announced the cast last week for the group’s spring musical, “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown.”

GOOD GRIEF: FROM DRAG TO DRAB

            Ron Williams of Redford, who recently played the hysterically funny Hank, who impersonates a female British chocolatier in the Players Guild of Dearborn’s “Til Beth Do Us Part,” will play Charlie Brown, the perpetual optimist who has one-too-many footballs pulled out from under him.

LUCY AND LINUS

            Emily Gedert of Dearborn, who has appeared in the group’s productions of “Godspell” and “Nuncrackers, the Christmas Musical” will play the part of Lucy Van Pelt. James Mayne of Redford will play her philosophical blanket-toting little brother Linus.

SALLY AND SNOOPY

             Sally Brown will be played by Sara Mayne of Redford, who played a precocious kid in last year’s production of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” at the Players Guild of Dearborn.

            Riding a doghouse and spreading dog germs as Snoopy will be Brian Welch of Monroe.

PIANO AND PEPPERMINT

            Plymouth resident Cory Chambliss will play Schroeder, while Wyandotte resident Clara Albright will play Peppermint Patty. 
 
MARCY, MARCY, MARCY…      

            Marissa Campitelle of Inkster, who recently played Laurie in the Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre production of Neil Simon’s “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” will play Marcy.

PIG-PEN AND SHERMY

            Sean Randolph of Canton Township will play Pig-Pen.  Chris Fraser of Detroit, who recently appeared in the Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre production of “Biloxi Blues” as Epstein, rounds out the cast as Shermy.

MARK THE DATE

            The show, which runs April 13, 14, 20, 21 and 22 at the Berwyn Center, 26155 Richardson in Dearborn Heights features musical direction by Brian Londrow and choreography by Laura Tyler.
