TribLIVE: One of America's favorite television Christmas specials will be brought to life onstage when Armstrong Community Theater presents “Charlie Brown's Christmas” on Nov. 29 and 30 at the Worthington Civic Center.
The play was created for the theater group by Emily Younkins, who also directs the production. It is closely based on the annual television special.
“It's a classic that we all grew up watching,” Younkins says. “It doesn't matter how many times you've seen it, you still watch it.”

Ah, Charlie Brown Christmas. This brings back some memories. My undergrad theatre program would do a production of this every year for the local community and it was always well received. We stopped doing it the year after I left because we had concerns with Rights and such associated with the production. So I'd be interested in knowing how this company addressed these concerns or whether they are just completely ignoring it. I know the appeal of A Charlie Brown Christmas is that it's a fairly easy, short production that has a fun holiday message and there really are not that many out there. Yes there are the Religious overtones but they are fairly easy to ignore and think about the larger meaning of the show and embracing the nature of the holiday. So good luck to the Armstrong Community Theater and I hope the show is well received.
