TUE-SUN, MAR 3-8
 MAINSTAGE THEATRE


With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time GRAMMY winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, PIPPIN is the story of a man’s journey to the extraordinary. The son of a king, Pippin is stuck between what is expected of him and the possibilities that forging his own path holds. Contains adult content, adult language, violence, and sexual content. Recommended for ages 13 and up.
