You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown (Revised) Cast

Anay is a sophomore at Gilman School and is beyond thrilled to participate in his first Gilman Upper School musical! After last year’s production of Me and My Girl was unfortunately cut short, Anay is grateful that he is able to get back on stage and perform. He started performing in the fourth grade as Kurt in RPCS’s production of The Sound of Music, and ever since then, he has loved being a part of many Middle and Upper School shows. Some of his favorites include Legally Blonde (Emmett), Once on This Island (Daniel), and Bye Bye Birdie (Hugo). Anay is also a member of the Glee Club, Traveling Men, and visual arts program at Gilman. He has had so much fun being a part of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown and would like to thank Mr. Rowell, Mrs. Beckman, Mr. Gordon, Ms. Carper, and Mr. Flint for making it all possible.

Curtis is a sophomore and is very excited to be in his first full Gilman musical. In the past, he was a member of the cast of last spring’s Me and My Girl and he was also an ensemble member in Bye Bye Birdie and played Papa Ge in Once on this Island Jr. at RPCS. Curtis is also a member of the Traveling Men at Gilman. He would like to thank Mr. Rowell, Ms. Beckman, Mr. Flint, Mr. Gordon, and the crew for helping to create such a wonderful show.

Britton is a junior. He has performed with Bryn Mawr in Cinderella and the 2021 Cabaret. At Gilman he worked on Me and My Girl and most recently appeared in the dual roles of Osip and The Postmaster in The Government Inspector. He is excited for this opportunity to perform again at Gilman and would like to thank his mother, Mr. Rowell, Mr. Twining, and Jacob for leading him to do musicals.

Charlie is a senior, and has previously appeared on the Gilman stage in Barnum, the unfortunately short-lived Me and My Girl, and The Government Inspector. His other credits include Richard III at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C. and The Other Josh Cohen at the Westside Theatre in New York City, and he will be continuing his theatrical pursuits at Northwestern University next fall. Charlie is very excited for the opportunity to perform such an enjoyable show and would like to thank Mr. Rowell, Ms. Beckman, Mr. Flint, and his castmates for their remarkable work over the past month.

Ben is a senior at Gilman School and is so happy to be performing in his third Gilman musical. He previously played Custus in Crazy For You (2019) and was also set to play Hethersett in Me and My Girl (2020) before COVID hit. He has also performed in the fall RPCS musicals every year since freshman year, and was featured in The Secret Garden, Beauty and the Beast, Bye Bye Birdie, and the virtual cabaret that took place earlier this year. Ben proudly performs with the Gilman Traveling Men as well as the Gilman Glee Club. Ben is also a singer/ songwriter who has garnered over 4,000 streams on Spotify with his multiple singles and EPs. Ben would like to thank Mr. Rowell, Ms. Carper, Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Flint for challenging him to perform at his best. He would also like to thank Ms. Beckman, not only for guiding him through the music of the show, but also for being the person who introduced him to vocal music and performance seven years ago.

Brody is a Gilman sophomore, proud to be making his Upper School musical debut in You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. Brody was featured in Gilman’s most recent production, a staged reading of Nikolai Gogol’s play, The Government Inspector. He has loved the stage ever since his early childhood and is delighted to have the opportunity to perform once again after quite some time. He is grateful for the efforts of all involved in making this show a wonderful possibility. Not to forget the daily food deliveries, and escorts to and from rehearsal. Thanks, Mom!
