With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, Pippin is the story of one young man’s journey to be extraordinary. Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, this updated circus-inspired version of Pippin continues to captivate and appeal to the young at heart throughout the world.
Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is 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.

A World Without Them
Thu, Sep. 17, 2026 | 7:30 pm
Fri, Sep. 18, 2026 | 7:30 pm
Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.
What do we lose when someone disappears—a species, a culture, a language, a voice?
A World Without Them is a visually stunning and emotionally powerful exploration of extinction in all its forms—natural, cultural, and personal. Co-created by Deaf artist Landon Krentz and Ghost River Theatre’s Eric Rose, this groundbreaking work blends physical theatre with visual vernacular, a unique storytelling technique rooted in Deaf expression.
This production transcends language and cultural barriers, where gesture replaces dialogue, and movement becomes meaning. At its core, it is a bold celebration of Deaf artistry, a tribute to those who came before, and a call to imagine a future where no story is left behind.
Tickets: Free. Click here.
