Pippin—A Mid-life Crisis. Fall 2019

Told by an ensemble of actors, PIPPIN is the story of a prince, who is searching for his purpose in life and his own “corner of the sky.”

Encouraged by the Leading Player, Pippin dabbles in bloody battle, licentious entanglements, and savvy political maneuvers, only to discover that true happiness is more complicated than it appears.

With infectious music by Stephen Schwartz and classic choreography from Bob Fosse, PIPPIN is both a humorous allegory and a dark tale of false appearances and empty promises.
