CLICK HERE TO MAKE YOUR FREE RESERVATION Live Panel   SHOW! (and Tell): YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN   For York’s fifth Virtual Company Reunion in its Live Panel Series, they revisit their exciting 2016 production of You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, the first production of the show to feature a cast of young professional performers, most with Broadway credentials. York’s James Morgan and theatre historian Charles Wright will moderate a live panel discussion with director Michael Unger and music director Eric Svejcar, along with several cast members. If you think youngsters are any less professional or better than seasoned performers, think again. Some of the best shows I’ve seen in recent years contained these fresh faces. A Zoom link will be sent with your reservation confirmation.
