CAST MEMBERS

Zeke Crocker, Snoopy

Having appeared in The Wind in the Willows and
Treasure Island, eighth grader Zeke is making his
musical debut. “I wasn't sure how much I would
like doing a musical at first, but found that it was
very enjoyable,” he confessed. He is most looking
forward to performing “Baseball Game.” One “little
known fact” about Zeke is that he enjoys
composing music for amateur video games.

Lydia Cunningham, Lucy Van Pelt
No stranger to the MHA stage, some of junior
Lydia’s favorite roles have included Martha in
Arsenic and Old Lace, Clara Bell in Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm, and Ferret in The Wind in the
Willows. A highlight of the show is the scene in
which Lucy interviews everyone to tell her how
crabby they think she is, and, at the end, she has a
small moment of self realization. “I have expanded
my character horizon by becoming the older sister I always wanted to
be,” said the youngest of six children. Lydia thanks her grandparents,
who always watched Peanuts on TV. “I’m sure they would have loved to
see me in the show,” she said.

Ezekiel Forster, Schroeder

A senior at Mars Hill, Ezekiel has held roles in A
Midsummer Night’s Dream, Arsenic and Old Lace,
and Fiddler on the Roof. Through his experience
with You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Ezekiel has
learned that despite his usual singing role as a
bass, he has a higher register as well. Like
Schroeder, he enjoys reading and playing piano.
He thanks Mr. McKenna for directing the show and
his friends “for getting me to do my first play and inadvertently starting
my interest in theater.”
