gentle, and has a big heart. Vocal Range: Tenor (Bb2-F4)

misinterprets his kindness. Vocal Range: Soprano (Bb3-A5)

Snoopy: Charlie Brown's imaginative and lively pet beagle. Snoopy has a wild
imagination, loves to daydream, and lives in his own fantasy world. Despite his quirks, he
is very loyal to Charlie Brown. Vocal Range: Tenor or Alto (C3-A4)

range and can portray a dog. Physicality & dance experience helpful but not required.

Charlie Brown and her brother Linus, in a misguided attempt to help. Despite her tough
exterior, she has moments of compassion, vulnerability, and insight. Vocal Range: Alto (G3-F5)

Linus Van Pelt: Lucy’s younger brother, who is intelligent and philosophical despite his
young age. He is almost never seen without his security blanket. He provides a lot of
the show’s wisdom. Vocal Range: Baritone (Bb2-E4)
