With a cast of over 40 talented performers, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown bursts onto the stage with the vibrant colors and boundless energy of childhood. This timeless musical promises joy, laughter, and a beautiful sense of nostalgia—perfect for a Mother’s Day weekend outing the whole family will love!
Presented by CYT, a company celebrated for its Vibrant, Imaginative, Uplifting, and Inclusive productions, this show is a shining example of those values in action. Watch as a lovable group of quirky kiddos navigates life’s ups and downs, all while searching for affirmation, connection, and meaning.
Whether you’re full of sass like Sally, persnickety like Lucy, a philosopher like Linus, a joyous Flying Ace like Snoopy, or a lovable underdog like Charlie Brown, Peanuts reminds us that we all matter—and that being yourself is more than enough.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the beloved Peanuts gang, and they continue to charm audiences of all ages! If ever there was an iconic comic strip, it’s Peanuts. From humble beginnings in just seven newspapers in 1950, the gang grew into a global cultural phenomenon. Creator Charles Schulz poured his personality into each character—but it was Charlie Brown, relatable, hopeful, and often defeated, who most closely mirrored his own spirit.
The following weekend, get ready to be swept away by one of the most beloved musicals of all time as The Sound of Music comes to life on stage at the Historic Crighton Theater from May 16–18. With a cast of over 40 incredibly talented performers, this production promises to be an unforgettable theatrical experience for the whole family.
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the iconic 1965 film, this live performance captures all the heart, humor, and glorious music that made The Sound of Music a cherished classic for generations. From the soaring notes of “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” to the joyous energy of “Do-Re-Mi” and the tender warmth of “Edelweiss”, audiences will be immersed in the timeless story of love, courage, and the power of music.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Austrian Alps, The Sound of Music tells the story of Maria, a spirited young woman who brings music and light back into the lives of Captain von Trapp and his seven children. With themes of resilience, hope, and standing up for what’s right, this story remains just as relevant and moving today as it was six decades ago.
Don’t miss this enchanting production in one of Texas’s most historic and charming theaters. Whether you’ve loved the story for years or are discovering it for the first time, The Sound of Music at the Crighton Theatre is sure to leave you humming all the way home.
