Pippin Coming to Dean Stage Mar 22-26

Studded with pop-style musical gems, "Pippin" is an allegory of a young prince in search of himself. Longing to find passion, adventure, or anything else that will make him feel extraordinary, Prince Pippin goes to war to prove his loyalty to his distracted father, King Charles. The prince falls in love with Catherine, a widow with a young son, and struggles to decide whether he should settle down and pursue a peaceful life or continue to make magic with a dazzling troupe of performers.

"Pippin" is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
