Lucy, portrayed by Kaitlin Ritchie, left, and Snoopy (John Marsh) slink away in shame as Charlie Brown ( Kian DeVine) strikes out during a scene from the Statesboro Youth Theater's production of "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown" at the Averitt Center for the Arts.

Happiness is ... the Statesboro Youth Theater's production of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" at the Emma Kelly Theater at 7 p.m. both Friday and Saturday evening. Director Mical Whitaker said that, in terms of theater, 'Charlie Brown' is at the heart of what he loves — simple, direct and engaging. "I don't like repeating scripts, but 'Charlie Brown' is just so enduring and timeless," he said.
