Photos: First Look At Hilliard Arts Council’s PIPPIN
Hilliard Arts Council presents Pippin from July 10 - 12, 2026.
Presented by Hilliard Arts Council as told by a traveling troupe of actors led by the cunning and charming Leading Player, Pippin is a story of a young prince, heir to the throne, who is searching for his own “Corner of the Sky”. Check out the photos below!
Pippin returns from university certain that he will find purpose in life. As encouraged by the Leading Player, Pippin dabbles in bloody battle, licentious and lusty sexual entanglements, and savvy political maneuvers, only to discover that true happiness is more complicated than he thought. With infectious tunes by Stephen Schwartz and classic choreography from Bob Fosse, Pippin is both a humorous allegory about growing up and a dark tale of the danger of false appearances and empty promises.
