Pippin is the story of Prince Pippin, son of Charlemagne, who has just finished his formal education and is ready to face the world. In his quest to find his “Corner of the Sky” Pippin tries every noble pursuit (and some not so noble too) only to learn that none of them are completely fulfilling.

Pippin’s madcap adventures will have you grinning from ear to ear as the refreshing score by Tony Award-winning Stephen Schwartz brings you one musical gem after another.

This production is being put on by Theatre Artists United, a privately held company here in Anchorage. They are  dedicated to bringing high caliber musical theatre to the city of Anchorage, Alaska.

It IS the area where the Iditarod, (at least ceremoniously) begins every year. I concluded that Anchorage is indeed IN Alaska! Now that I had solved that quandary, I wondered what did I really know of Alaska. It’s cold. Yet today in February the therometer says “35 degrees F!” Now that’s not cold; not for Alaska. So I looked around for the snow. Alaska surely has snow. And there it was, all of two months old; Snow…and green grass. Green grass in February. This couldn’t be Alaska.
