Pippin, the son of Charlemagne, experiences an odyssey of love, sex, war and politics seeking some sort of purpose, but the somewhat malevolent Leading Player wants the perfect theatrical ending at all costs. With a book by Roger O. Hirson and music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (award-winning composer of Godspell and Wicked), Pippin features such classic numbers as "Corner of the Sky," "No Time at All," "Magic to Do" and "Extraordinary." Bohemian Theatre Ensemble's production is directed by Peter Marston Sullivan and choreographed by Brenda Didier.

Fight Girl Battle World: Action-Packed Sci-Fi Comedy

Full Price:: $25.00
Our Price:: $7.50 - $12.50

Fight Girl is E-V, a tough-as-nails prizefighter who also happens to be the last human woman in the galaxy. Battle World is her planet, a place where all the alien races come together for epic battles to the death and spectators bet on the outcome. E-V has much more to worry about than her next fight, though. She is being pursued by the United Galactic Alliance -- an evil empire on the verge of eradicating humanity. This science-fiction satire from Qui Nguyen, the creator of the 2011 InFusion Theatre Company hit Soul Samurai, gets its Midwestern premiere with this production, which is packed with innovative video projection, puppetry, stage combat and more. A Critic's Pick in Time Out Chicago, the show stars Sheila O'Connor as E-V. Learn More

this was a wonderful musical with a great cast - especially the actor that played the devil - Travis(?) He was fantastic - and the rest of the cast was really great.

The Theater Wit is a great place to see a show. The sound system is exceptional. This young cast was quite good. Travis Porchia caught the correct tone for the leading player and Shaun Nathan Baer epitomized the young Pippin. Great case with very talented dancers. This was especially true for Sawyer Smith.

Quotes & Highlights

The original Broadway production of Pippin ran for more than four years and 1,944 performances, earning 11 Tony nominations.

Description

What does it mean to live an extraordinary life? This is the question that drives Pippin through the adventures of war, sex, politics and love – all the while guided by the malicious hand of the Leading Player. While the Players strive to steer Pippin towards the perfect, theatrically tragic end of his story, Pippin begins to discover what it truly means to be extraordinary in our world.

Full of dance, passion, and Schwartz’s iconic music, Pippin is the ultimate theatrical experience that will leave audiences debating what boundaries are crossed for love.

About the Ticket Supplier: Bohemian Theatre Ensemble

Mission:
Creating theatre that incorporates the arts as a whole -- Art for art's sake.

Vision:
To challenge convention through literary originality and eclectic expression while fostering an ever-evolving artistic environment in which people are inspired to learn, think, dream, and feel. To teach others and ourselves how to expand, create, and present art through theatre while reveling not only in the process, but also in the journey.

Being "Bohemian":
Bohemia is not so much a place on a map but a timeless concept that knows no geographic boundaries. The Bohemian recognizes that cherishing all aspects of art is tantamount to progression of mankind as more than just a living being.

The Four Basic Principles of the Bohemian represent their core values:

Truth -- That which is at the core of all things good and soulful
Beauty -- The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. -Aristotle
Freedom -- Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others. -Camus
Love -- Life in abundance comes only through great love.
