Credo’s “Good Man” was easy to find, fun to watch
Credo High School, Rohnert Park’s new Waldorf-based public charter school, staged three performances of its first musical theater production, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Based on the Peanuts comic strip, the staging featured students Elias Torres as Charlie Brown, Spencer Waters as Linus, Rachel Rudick as Rerun and Matteo Williams as Schroeder.
All the students involved in the production were freshmen, as this is the school’s first year in existence. The class of 2015 is only 45 strong and was assisted by parents, school staff and faculty. Maria Bragoiner, Credo English and Theater teacher, directed.
Additional cast members: Hanna Pitman as Shermy; Kaylyn Conway, Pig Pen, Jourdyn Bossio, Snoopy; Alexandra Fuler, Woodstock; Angelika Ingham, Lucy; Violet Smyth, Peppermint Patty; Nadia Haugen, Marcie; Medugorje Pena, Sally, Grace McNamara, Little Red-haird Girl; Ariel Swanson, Frieda; Thania Martinez, Peggy Jean.
