Pippin

Join us for a night of spectacular magic, catchy Stephen Schwartz tunes, and Fosse-inspired dances; challenge with us unsettlingly relatable portrayals of mindless war, sex, and political corruption; and, just maybe, believe again in love.

Musical Director: Melissa Weikart
Choreographer: Maddie Cetlin
May 24th, 25th, and 26th
