Cyrano de Bergerac
by Edmond Rostand
directed by Bob Westenberg
fight choreography by Kurt Gerard Heinlein
June 11-14, 16-21

The soulful poet/philosopher and brilliant swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac, a cadet in the French Army, falls for the beautiful, strong-willed Roxane, but he is too ashamed of his large nose to tell her. Instead, when he learns that she loves the handsome but not-so-bright recruit Christian de Neuvillette, Cyrano writes poetry and love letters to Roxane on Christian's behalf. After many years, the truth is revealed. Will love or beauty win the fair heroine's heart?

This reimagined version of the musical about our favorite Peanut will be sure-fire summer hit. February of 1999 saw the return of Charlie Brown and the gang, with a new prodcution rewritten and revived for the Broadway stage, without losing the integrity or heart of the show. You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown has become one of the most produced musicals in history. It is filled with charm, humor, joy, trials, tribulations and a whole lot of happiness. I am honored to be a part of this wonderful musical, and pleased to be able to share it with you. Thank you for joining us on this musical journey as we discover what it means to be a 'good man' and the true meaning of happiness.
