2007 Miracle Yearbook

V ?reams of dinner,feelings of anxiety concerning interactions with the opposite sex,and shooting down imaginary enemyfighter jets werejust a few ofthe colorful and exuberant scenes in this year's winter play, You're A Good Man,Charlie Brown. Arranged in a short,rapid-fire style similar to the comics ofthe beloved Charles Schultz,the unique musical exhibited a little bit ofeverything,from strobe lights to tap dancing.The musical was refreshingly unique to the typical Cedarville production.Sophomore Jenna Albarano,who played the part of Lucy,explained the goal ofthe play:"We were not trying to catch people with the story or try to make a surprising twist at the end. What we were doing was trying to show the innocence of life, and how happiness really is found in the little things." You're A Good Man,Charlie Brown was also a play that had strong appeal for audiences of all ages,which was a rare and admirable feat.Junior Amy Brown, a chorus memberfor the musical,said,"A lot oftimes we assume that if a play isn't horribly serious or a social commentary,it really is not a worthwhile learning experience. This play made me disagree!' While on the surface it seems like a simple,childlike musical,several audience memberscame awayfrom the production with a deeper understanding and appreciation of life. Junior Claire Kaemmerling said,"It was such a fun and playful musical,but still significant.Throughoutthe show yougot caught up in the endearing characters through silly skits and scenes,but in the end you walk awayfrom the play knowing that even on the most basic,simple level life is abo relationships.What is important is loving one another and helping each other through whatever may come:' •Sophomore Nich Arch plays Charlie Brown and is trying to hide himselffrom being seen by the little red-haired girl.
