A-C Valley set to dazzle with 'Pippin'
FOXBURG, Clarion County — Allegheny-Clarion Valley Junior/Senior High School will present “Pippin,” the Tony Award-winning musical by Stephen Schwartz with book by Roger O. Hirson, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the A-C Valley High School auditorium, 776 Route 3015.
Tickets are available at the door and are $5 for students and $6 for adults.
Pippin is the story of a young prince who longs to find passion and adventure in his life. To prove his loyalty to his distracted father, King Charles, Pippin goes to war.
But when the Leading Player convinces the prince to fight tyranny, Pippin kills Charles and takes over the throne. Realizing his mistake, Pippin begs the Leading Player to bring his father back to life, and she obliges.
The prince falls in love with Catherine, a widow with a young son, and Pippin struggles to decide whether he should settle down and pursue a peaceful life or continue to make magic with the dazzling troupe of performers.
“Pippin” is directed by Jenny Lowrey and Julie Powell with pit direction by Cameron Ashbaugh.
