PIPPIN

This March, the River Hill High School Theatre Arts Department will proudly present the Broadway musical, Pippin.  With a memorable score from multiple Tony, Oscar, and Grammy winner, Stephen Schwartz, Pippin is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary.  This multiple Tony-award winning show was originally produced on Broadway in 1972 (directed by the legendary Bob Fosse) and then successfully revived in 2015.  River Hill’s production promises to bring magic and joy to the hearts of audience members of all ages.  See the attached flyer for ticket information.
