## About

The Peanuts holiday classic comes to the Zeiterion's historic stage in New Bedford for two performances on Saturday, December 5. Actors play Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the gang as they put on their own Christmas play and discover the true meaning of the season, singing and dancing to Vince Guaraldi's familiar music. The theater recommends it especially for ages 4 and up. The show runs about 90 minutes including a 20-minute intermission, a manageable length for young children. Santa makes a special appearance in the lobby before both performances, so families can arrive early to say hello. A separately sold meet-and-greet upgrade adds a post-show photo with members of the Peanuts cast and a commemorative lanyard.
