You're a Good Man
Charlie Brown
Directed by Tess Catlin
May 1 - 9, 2026
MCP presents Charlie Brown and the entire Peanuts gang as they explore life’s great questions as they play baseball, struggle with homework, sing songs, swoon over their crushes and celebrate the joy of friendship. Having opened in 1967 and reprised in 1999, this musical offers a relatable and nostalgic look at childhood, with its ups and downs, through the familiar lens of the characters we have all grown to love on their pursuit of happiness.
1776
Directed by Robert Terry
July 10 - 18, 2026
Chronicling the events leading up to the
signing of the Declaration of Independence,
the founding fathers come alive in this classic
American musical. John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson fight for liberty against a deadlocked Continental
Congress in a retelling filled with humor,
romance, pathos, and nail-biting tension.
Decision Height
Directed by Trish Cooper
October 2 - 10, 2026
Decision Height tells the story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) who served in
World War II assisting the men who were fighting. Through triumphs and tragedies, this
play explores their experiences, the deep bonds
they form, and the sacrifices they make while
highlighting an under-recognized group of Ameri-
can heroes. These young women grow as a
group with a shared goal of doing their part to
assist in the war effort and making the most out of
this (at the time) once in a lifetime opportunity.
