Schroeder

So you have Charlie Brown...

You have Sally Brown, his sister, Lucy and Linus, and then you have Snoopy and Schroeder, and that's it.

It's only a cast of six.

So who

20

people in the ensemble? Yeah.

Only six? Did you have a Schroeder?

Yeah, we did.

So that is just sort of one example of the variety of hows that a student gets.

I'm thinking about the student that I directed in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown last year who played Schroeder.

And they have gone on to do an enormous amount of acting and musical theater and classical theater within our program.

And then went to London and studied theater history for a semester in London.

Who's your favorite Charlie Brown character? Who is my

favorite Charlie Brown character? I really like Schroeder.

I just I kind of identify with Schroeder because I'm a musician, too.

So like I get I get his I get his annoyance with I get his annoyance with Lucy.

I went to somebody I went to high school with somebody that was annoying like Lucy.

Shermy, whose appearances were already few at this point, was used instead of another character.

Linus would understand, so would Schroeder.

Like Charlie Brown, they both are very sensitive.

All three would be considered nerdy by today's standards, and all three have obsessions and neuroses Shermy just doesn't have.

And he did find that with Lucy

... vulnerable side.

Lucy, Lucy has all of this attitude and, you know, a forthrightness and no-nonsense and, and meanness, but she also loves Schroeder and is bad at baseball and, like, she has, you know-

Yes
