This December Sinclair Theatre is presenting “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” a retelling of the classic holiday TV special.
According to Sinclair’s Theatre page it was, “first shown as an animated television special based on Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts characters in 1965, this faithful stage adaptation features Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the gang as they grapple with the meaning of Christmas. With colorful costumes and scenery, this 40-minute production is quickly becoming a family holiday tradition and offers a perfect introduction for young children to LIVE theatre.”
Gina Neuerer, Sinclair’s Theater Department Chair, said Sinclair has done the show for 6 years and she loves how it gives back to the community. They have never raised the price from an affordable $8, and it is free for people who live in adult care homes to make it as accessible as possible. They also have sign language shadow interpreters on stage standing next to the actors, for select performances.
There are eight showings of the play on the following days, also any show with an asterisk next to it indicates it’s an American Sign Language interpretation performance:
- Thursday, Dec. 2 at 12 p.m.
- Friday, Dec. 3 at 12 p.m.*
- Saturday, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m., 4 p.m. & 7 p.m.*
