Show Times:

November 5th - 8th at 7:30pm

Yulman Theater

Union College Theater and Dance Department and Union College Music Department presents Pippin, directed by Gabriel Thom Pasculli, choreography by Hettie Barnhill, music direction by Jin Byun.

A group of musical players tells the story of Pippin on his wayward journey through life. Full of high hopes, false starts, and the victories and defeats of trying to find one's place in the world, Pippin is driven by his desire for complete fulfillment. The players, on the other hand, take a mischievous delight in denying him such fulfillment, while at the same time providing endless entertainment for the rest of us. Originally directed by Bob Fosse with music by Stephen Schwarz (composer of Wicked), the story of Pippin continues to be retold again and again as we seek those consistent truths in an ever-changing world.

Tickets are available on eventbrite or in person at our box office open monday-friday 1-2pm and one hour before each performance. The money from ticket sales will go directly into supporting the Theater and Dance Department. We would like to make sure our productions are accessible to all, if you need a ticket at a price that is not listed on the website, they are available in person at the box office starting one hour before each performance.
