Pippin is a coming-of-age story that perfectly captures the teenage years of life and the search to find what fulfills us. With an infectiously unforgettable score from Stephen Schwartz, Pippin seeks the secret of happiness in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh, the predictability of the simple life and the intrigue of political power.
Taking a fresh, modern-day view of this classic musical, professional performers combine with college students, teens and community members to tell the story of the quest to live an extraordinary life.
Recommended for audiences ages 14 and up.
Pippin will be presented at COCA on July 21 at 7 p.m. and July 22 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.
