This April, Newtown Arts Company invites audiences to find their corner of the sky with “Pippin” at the Newtown Theatre from April 16 to the 19!
With a book by Roger O. Hirson along with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (“Wicked”, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, and “The Prince of Egypt”), “Pippin” is the story of one young man’s journey to be extraordinary. Guided by a mysterious troupe of performers and led by the eerily charismatic Leading Players, Pippin explores various paths, including war, political power, love, and the simple life. Each venture leaves him increasingly unsatisfied, pushing him to discover what truly makes life meaningful. Does he follow in the footsteps of his father, one of the most powerful men in the land? Or does he strike out on his own, to find his own “corner of the sky.”
This production is directed by Michael Fortna, music directed by Michael Wisnosky, choreographed by Erin Ryan and produced by Lisa Reiser and Beth Seffrin. Taking center stage are Blue Colacchio and Sierra Elise as The Leading Players, who guide Pippin (played by Liam Sullivan) along through this journey.
The production is rated PG-13 due to adult themes - some material may not be suitable for children.
Performances run Thursday, April 16 and Friday, April 17 at 7:30 pm; Saturday, April 18 at 2 pm and 7:30 pm; and Sunday, April 19 at 2 pm at the Newtown Theatre, located in the heart of historic Newtown Borough.
Join us and find your corner of the sky!
