Join Agape for "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown"!

Our Spring 2025 Practicum

Join Zach Adkins, known for his roles as Brother Maynard and Not Dead Fred in Spamalot will be directing our 2025 production of You're A Good Man Charlie Brown!

Rehearsals will be Wednesday evenings at LifePoint Church, in Indianapolis, beginning January 8th, 2025.

“Did you know that Charlie Brown has never pitched a winning baseball game, never been able to keep a kite in the air, never won a game of checkers and never successfully punted a football?” Well, he can sure try! Written and composed by Clark Gesner (The Utter Glory of Morrissey Hall, Animal Fair) You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown uses the beloved characters and stories based on the popular PEANUTS comic strip by Charles M. Schulz to tell the story of Charlie Brown playing baseball, failing to talk to his crush, and ultimately finding his own happiness with his beloved friends, Linus, Lucy and Schroeder, his sister, Sally, and his loveable dog, Snoopy, because by achieving happiness, a man can help others find it too.
