Pippin

»Download Poster

Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the un-extraordinary moments that happen every day.
Pippin features an infectiously unforgettable score from the four-time Grammy-winner, three-time Oscar-winner, and musical theatre giant Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Children of Eden), and has been delighting audiences since its Broadway debut in 1972.
Recommended for audiences 13 and older due to mature humor and themes.
ASL-Interpreted performance, 7pm Saturday, August 12, 2017.
