The Chicago Street Theatre is looking for adult actors to play the leads in their holiday production of A Charlie Brown Christmas on Wednesday, September 3 at 7:30 PM. The production is a newly adapted stage version of the 1966 TV Special that will be part of the theatre's 60th Anniversary Season. Performances of this classic will run November 28 through December 21 with a primary cast of adults and a junior cast handling the early matinee shows and Thursday night presentations. Last year, CST's family production of Junie B. Jones in Jingle Bells, Batman Smells played to full houses throughout the holiday season.
