Rooted Here. Imagined For Everywhere.

When Charlie Brown isn’t feeling the Christmas spirit, his (not professionally licensed) psychiatrist, Lucy Van Pelt, appoints him director of her nativity play. It turns out Charlie Brown isn’t the only one who doesn’t understand Christmas.

Nostalgic and sweet, A Charlie Brown Christmas celebrates community, earnestness, and the unconventional. Even “the crankiest Scrooge” will feel “nostalgic” after watching, said The Cape Cod Chronicle.

Kathy Baas Sensory Friendly Performance
December 6, 2025 at 2 PM
Our sensory-friendly performances are intentionally modified to accommodate patrons who experience heightened sensory input, who experience anxiety, have dementia or learning differences, or who are on the autistic spectrum. These adjustments often come in the form of lowered decibel levels for sound cues, a quiet place if a patron becomes overwhelmed, and visual cues before the start of action that may be disconcerting.
