The North Shore Masquers’ present the musical Pippin on March 22 at 7:30 p.m. and March 23 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in the high school theater.
Tickets are available at www.northshoreartsangels.org
As told by a traveling troupe of actors led by the charismatic Leading Player, Pippin is the story of a young prince, heir to the throne, who is searching for his own “corner of the sky.” Pippin returns from university certain that he will find a fulfilling purpose in life. As encouraged by the Leading Player, Pippin dabbles in bloody battle, licentious and lusty entanglements, and savvy political maneuvers, only to discover that true happiness is more complicated than he thought. With infectious tunes by Stephen Schwartz, Pippin is both a humorous allegory about growing up and a dark tale of the danger of false appearances and empty promises.
