Noosa Arts Theatre (NAT) has a lively program lined up between now and the new year, beginning with the much-loved musical, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
Based on Charles M Schulz’s beloved Peanuts characters, the musical was created by Clark Gesner and premiered Off-Broadway in 1967. Built around a series of short scenes, each with its own song, the show ran for more than 1,500 performances. Its 1999 Broadway revival introduced new songs by Andrew Lippa.
To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Peanuts cartoons, the Melbourne Comedy Festival featured a special production in April 2025 at the MC Showroom in Prahran.
From 11-27 September, audiences can join the gang at NAT in this fun-filled production directed by Jordan Jeckells. Charlie Brown is played by Charlie Kelly-Mandalis, still dreaming of the Little Red-Haired Girl. His sister Sally is played by Bianca Pinkney, while Bridie Delaney appears as Lucy, determined to wean Linus, played by Thomas Loughran, from his blanket. Noah Kelly-Mandalis takes on the role of piano-playing Schroeder, and Laeni Rees appears as Snoopy, still fantasising about the Red Baron.
This delightful musical proves that whatever life throws at us, with kindness, acceptance and perseverance, there is happiness and hope in simple things.

Poor mobile reception, patchy internet and blackspots across Eumundi and the wider Sunshine Coast have prompted Ted O'Brien MP - Federal Member for Fairfax to launch a community campaign calling for better connectivity.
Ted met with Eumundi Chamber of Commerce Inc president and Eumundi Service Station owner Louise Formosa, local business owners and residents at Dick Caplick Park, Eumundi on 26 August to discuss the impact unreliable service is having on families and businesses.
He said dropped calls and unreliable internet were costing people time, money and in some cases safety.
“Whether it’s a business struggling to stay connected, a family dealing with constant dropouts, or a hinterland resident facing blackspots, these problems are holding our region back,” said Ted.
“Connectivity isn’t a luxury. In this digital age, it is a basic need.”
Louise said unreliable digital infrastructure added another burden for small businesses already under pressure. “Basic digital and connectivity infrastructure shouldn’t be the problem – we have enough issues to deal with.”
She said poor connectivity could deter people from setting up a business, living or working in Eumundi, particularly when working from home depends on a reliable connection.
“It means that they are unsure if they can stay here and invest time and effort into working from home. You might be trying to set up for a Zoom call, and you can’t even keep a proper connection. It is embarrassing,” said Louise.
Ted said the campaign would give residents and business owners a way to record their experiences and strengthen the case for improvements. “I want every business owner, every family and every resident who’s been let down by patchy coverage to have their say.”
Residents and businesses will be asked to rate their mobile and internet coverage from 1-5, helping build a coverage heat map of the electorate.
Feedback will be provided to government agencies and telecommunications providers, including Telstra, Optus and TPG, so practical improvements can be pursued.
“The more voices we hear, the stronger the case we can build for the mobile and internet services our growing community deserves,” said Ted.
Residents and businesses can complete the survey at t.ly/bxEat. ... See MoreSee Less
