PIPPIN Comes to TheatreWorks New Milford in July

TheatreWorks New Milford will open the coming-of-age Stephen Schwartz musical PIPPIN on Friday July 14th.  PIPPIN is directed by Francis A Daley with musical director Joy Giuseffi of Patterson, N.Y. and choreographers are Sandra Hernandez of New Milford and Adam Battelstein of Kent, CT.

Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
