Interactive Outdoor Theater
Westmoreland Sanctuary Nature Center & Wildlife Preserve in Mount Kisco will host its outdoor theatrical production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown this month. This is local community theater at its finest. Director Denise Simon is back for her 4th season at Westmoreland Sanctuary Outdoor Theatre. Previous shows included A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Into the Woods and The Wizard of Oz.
“We’re thrilled to share You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown with the entire community,” says Ann Paul, Director at Westmoreland Sanctuary. “There’s a little bit of Charlie Brown in most of us, and that’s just one reason the iconic cast of characters, created by Charles Shulz, has remained so popular over the years.” Westmoreland’s performances are set in a natural outdoor setting, and the audience actually becomes part of the show itself. Following each performance, everyone is welcome to enjoy open-pit toasted marshmallows.
Cast
Playing the role of Charlie Brown will be Mateo Lizcano, known for voices in the animated TV shows Peg & Cat and Dora & Friends: Into the City. Mateo also appeared as Patrick in the 2016 Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Abigail Harrison, playing Lucy and Sally, made her Off-Broadway debut in the lead role of Tina Denmark in Ruthless, The Music.

About Westmoreland Sanctuary
Westmoreland Sanctuary is a non-profit nature center and wildlife preserve founded 60 years ago through the vision of philanthropist Helen Clay Frick, daughter of Henry Clay Frick. That initial land contribution of approximately 30 acres in 1957 has since grown to 640 acres of contiguous, preserved land today—free for public use—with 7.5 miles of the finest hiking trails and outdoor vistas offered anywhere in Westchester County.
Westmoreland Sanctuary’s mission is to secure and preserve land for the enjoyment and enrichment of all through Environmental education and Conservation programs. The Sanctuary is open to all, all-year round.
