Constellation is seeking local, non-union performers for our fall Constellation for Kids production of You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. Mitchell Ward, Director. Brandon Magid, Musical Director. Laura Rong, Choreographer.

1st Rehearsal – October 7, 2025
Performances – October 29 – November 16, 2025

Rehearsals will generally be scheduled for evenings and weekends. The performance schedule will include several 10am student matinees (Wednesdays and Thursdays), so all actors must have daytime availability on those days during the run.

All roles except Lucy are available. Actors interested in auditioning should submit a headshot and resume to Kate Galvin, Casting Director (casting@seeconstellation.org) by Friday May 30th. Initial auditions will be via self-tape, with in-person callback to be scheduled later in June.

Seeking actors for the following roles:

Charlie Brown – Tenor. The central character of the musical, Charlie Brown is an everyman. Despite being seen as a loser by his peers, he is optimistic and determined. He is kind, gentle, and has a big heart. Vocal Range: Tenor (Bb2-F4)

Sally Brown – Soprano. Charlie Brown’s younger sister who is sweet and innocent but can be self centered, skeptical, and absurdly intense. She has a crush on Linus and often misinterprets his kindness. Vocal Range: Soprano (Bb3-A5)

Snoopy – A dog. Tenor or Alto. 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)

Lucy Van Pelt (Replacements only) – Alto. A bossy, crabby, self-important girl who often bullies others, especially 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 – Baritone. 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)

Schroeder – Tenor. A piano-playing prodigy who is obsessed with Beethoven. He is the object of Lucy’s affection, although he usually ignores her advances to focus on his music. • Vocal Range: Tenor (Bb2-Ab4) Piano skills a plus, but not required.

Available Roles:

Diana [replacements only] – The role of Diana has been cast, seeking replacements only. Early 40’s, female presenting, mezzo/belter. Diana is seriously struggling with her mental health. She wants to be a good mom, but is tortured by her painful past. Her mental illness has taken a toll over the years, on Diana and on her family.

Dan – early 40’s, male presenting, tenor. Diana’s loyal husband. He wants the best for her and for their family and has been a constant in Diana’s tumultuous life. Holding onto hope has become increasingly difficult and his desire to control the chaos in his life sometimes backfires.

Natalie – 18+ to play 16, female presenting, mezzo/belter. Diana & Dan’s troubled daughter. An accomplished pianist and hardworking student, her struggles are exacerbated by her mother’s behavior and her fear of developing the same mental health issues. When things get bad at home she begins self-medicating with pharmaceuticals and dance clubs. This role will require smoking and intimacy with the actor playing Henry (kissing). Piano skills a plus, but not required.

Gabe – 18+ to play 18, male presenting, rock tenor. Diana & Dan’s son. Charismatic, charming and also dangerous. Gabe is different things to different people in his family. Sometimes he’s the perfect son, sometimes he’s a nightmare. This role requires a strong, athletic mover.

Henry – 18+ to play 16-17, male presenting, bari-tenor. Natalie’s classmate – a charming slacker. Henry is a jazz musician and sometimes philosopher. He’s sympathetic and romantic in a way that takes Natalie off guard. This role will require smoking and intimacy with the actor playing Natalie (kissing).

Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine – 30’s-50’s, male presenting, bari-tenor. Dr. Madden is Diana’s psychiatrist. Good at his job, supportive for Diana and the family and occasionally mistaken for a rock star.
