WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Pippin is the captivating coming of age story about a young man's search for meaning in his life, as told by a lively band of troubadors in the Roman empire. The episodic quest of Pippin, the son of the powerful Charlemagne, takes him through battlefields, orgies, revolution, and finally, love and domesticity, as he tries to find a place for his "spirit to run free," for his "corner of the sky."

In a co-production with Center Theater Group, Deaf West Theater has rebooted the classic Stephen Schwartz-Roger O. Hirson musical comedy Pippin, now at the Mark Taper Forum. Luckily, director Jeff Calhoun infuses this unusual production with enough imagination and magic to amaze even Harry Houdini.
As is the custom in Deaf West Productions (including the award-winning revival of Big River, several of the main characters -- notably Pippin, who is constantly striving for his special place in the world, and his royal father, King Charlemagne -- are played by deaf actors with speaking actors providing their voice.
