- Actors are welcome to submit a headshot and resume, but these are not required.

CAST OF CHARACTERS:
- Charlie Brown – vocal range of B-flat to F: His main characteristics are either self-defeating stubbornness or admirable determined persistence to try his best against all odds.
- Lucy Van Pelt – vocal range of G to F: She has the persona of a bossy, crabby, manipulative and selfish girl who thrives on telling everyone something.
- Snoopy – vocal range of C to A: Snoopy is a more human-like dog. His character is that of a dog who pretends to be a person (or who sometimes forgets he is a dog).
- Schroeder – vocal range of B-flat to A-flat: 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 in particular.
- Linus Van Pelt – vocal range of B-flat to E: Lucy’s younger brother. Though young, Linus is unusually smart and he acts as the show’s philosopher.
- Sally Brown – vocal range of B to B-flat: Charlie Brown’s younger sister. Despite being portrayed as innocent and adorable, she is noticeably intelligent for her age and this precociousness contributes to the humor of the series.
- Chorus of Peanuts
