Charlie Brown

Yesterday I went with John (AGYG music director), Ron (Pawnee Bill), and Niklas (John's German exchange student) to see You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown at Unity, a play in this season's Kelrick Productions. It was a five-character piece, geared toward children but starring all people over the age of 15. It was a special treat to see our Annie (Lucy Van Pelt) and
Frank (Snoopy) doing characters completely different from the ones they play in our show. Jeff as Snoopy was particularly hilarious in the number "Suppertime," during which he vamped and frolicked all over the stage, and sang in every style from blues/gospel to opera. What a hoot!

After the show, we four went for a delicious Italian feast at Giuseppi's in downtown SLO, to which John treated us all--an early celebration of my birthday coming up this week. I had a ball all day long, and was delighted to reaffirm, once again, how very much good culture there is of which to partake in the beautiful San Luis Obispo.
