CHARLIE BROWN
The sometimes optimistic, sometimes self-deprecatory main character in Peanuts. The show is a day in the life of Charlie Brown. A loveable loser, his main characteristics are either self-defeating stubbornness or admirable determined persistence to try his best against all odds. He can never win a ballgame, but continues playing baseball; he can never fly a kite successfully, but continues trying to do so; he knows Lucy is going to pull the football away before he kicks it, but he comes back over and over again and hopes that this time, he will prevail. Dominated by insecurities, this lovable blockhead is affable, humble but smart and vulnerable.
SALLY BROWN
A highly articulate, charismatic, lovable, sometimes eccentric and argumentative younger sister (2-3 years younger) to Charlie Brown. Despite being portrayed as innocent and adorable, she is noticeably intelligent for her age. She is absurdly intense, balancing angst with innocence, sweet but a skeptic. She has a crush on Linus.
LINUS VAN PELT
The thumb-sucking, blanket-dependent younger brother to Lucy – and Charlie Brown’s best friend. Though young, he is the smartest character in the bunch. He is also the show’s philosopher. Despite his mature vocabulary, juvenile aspects of his character are also displayed; for example, Linus is almost always depicted holding his blue security blanket and often sucking his thumb. Acutely sensitive with brains and warmth, although he is the second youngest in the group, he is the most mature.
LUCY VAN PELT
The crabby, opinionated, manipulative, self-important older sister to Linus who bosses Charlie Brown around and perpetually offers arm-chair psychiatric advice for her rate of five cents. She must have dimension in her performance – she will have the ability to be a brute but also allow her compassion to shine when necessary. She is actually a friend to Charlie Brown and is constantly looking for ways to help him and Linus, though she is often misguided and pushy in her attempts to help. She has a strong, unrequited crush on Schroeder.
SNOOPY
Charlie Brown’s dog. A gentle but clownish vaudevillian scene stealer who can “sell it.” Snoopy is more human-like than dog. His character is that of a dog who pretends to be a person (or who sometimes forgets he is a dog). He can dance circles around everyone else. He is smart, wise-cracking, and joyous. This role is physically demanding both in innovation and execution.
SCHROEDER
A friend to Charlie Brown, he is distinguished by his precocious skill at playing the toy piano, as well as by his love of classical music and the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. Lucy is in love with him but he could care less about her. His love is Beethoven and he is very serious about his musical hobby.
