* ClicheStorm: While it doesn't try to be, the play still plays straight several tropes typical of ''Peanuts'' parodies featuring the gang as older (Schroeder being gay, Snoopy's death, Linus being a stoner, Lucy mentally snapping, Peppermint Patty and Marcie being lesbians (or in this case assumed to be them), etc.) Though unlike typical parodies, these cliches are played seriously instead of for comedy.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Van's Sister, AKA, Lucy. She's just as hilarious as ever, but she also manages to be the most supportive of [[spoiler:C.B.'s homosexuality]], and is probably his most loyal friend in the show.
* FridgeBrilliance: Pen pal, [[spoiler: C.S. (Charles Schulz)]], since the play is set in the Peanuts universe, [[spoiler: is God, and the letter C.B. receives is an answer to his questions about what comes after death and an assurance that Beethoven, C.B.'s dog, and the bird are happy somewhere.]]
** Alternatively, [[spoiler: C.S. is Charles Schulz, who C.B. had been writing to all his life. Schulz used the letters C.B. sent him as the basis for his comic strip (Schulz at one point said that the Pen-Pal may be the person who felt the most sympathy for Charlie Brown in the original comics) and has played a sympathetic ear. Now that Schulz is dead in real-life, he writes C.B. one last letter from heaven, where he sees Beethoven.]]

** CB's Sister (Sally) putting on her absurd one-woman show in between two big, plot-important scenes. It's a hysterical BigLippedAlligatorMoment quite reminiscent of Maureen's song in ''{{Theatre/Rent}}''.
