Heir to the throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness, fulfillment and his own “Corner of the Sky.” 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 un-extraordinary moments that happen every day. Pippin opens on Thursday, July 16 at 7:30 pm at Jean’s Playhouse and will alternate performance dates with Man of La Mancha through August 29. Matinee performances at 2:00 pm will be held on August 5 and 19.
Man of La Mancha is the beloved musical about mad knight Don Quixote’s search for “The Impossible Dream.” Miguel de Cervantes, an author imprisoned during the Spanish Inquisition, reenacts the moving story of Don Quixote to win back a package of papers that had been taken from him. His inspiring and passionate story follows a man on the edge of madness and tells of love and adventures. Man of La Mancha opens on Thursday, July 23 at 7:30 pm at Jean’s Playhouse and will alternate performance dates with Pippin through August 29. Matinee performances at 2:00 pm will be held on July 29, August 12 and August 26.
