Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version Share this

 

November 13, 2015 (Santee)--You loved them so much last year, Pickwick Players, your East County theatre family, is bringing them back again! Come join Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Snoopy and the entire Peanuts gang as they come to life one more time on the Off Broadway Live stage (9490 Cuyamaca Street in Santee)  to look for the true meaning of Christmas in A Charlie Brown Christmas December 4-19.

When Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism he sees among everyone during the Christmas season, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant. Charlie Brown accepts, but this proves to be a frustrating endeavor. When an attempt to restore the proper holiday spirit with a forlorn little Christmas fir tree fails, he needs Linus’ help to learn what the real meaning of Christmas is.

During the run of A Charlie Brown Christmas, Pickwick Players will be encouraging our patrons to make a monetary donation to benefit the Santee Chapter of Project Linus. Project Linus, a non-profit organization, provides homemade blankets to children in need. The blankets are lovingly made by adults and children from all walks of life and many different sources. The blankets are collected locally and distributed to children in hospitals, shelters, social service agencies, or anywhere that a child might be in need of a big hug. Each of our casts has donated a blanket that they made during rehearsals.  To learn more about Project Linus please visit their website at http://www.projectlinus.org/ or phone the Santee Chapter at (619) 258-9910
