Pippin LiQh1ZS Up the Stage lf the energy is as high as it is with Pippin ... tudents performed the l'nUSiCal Pippin in the Pren- tiSS BI'0Wn Auditorium on April 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27. Pippin WaS a story based on the life of Charle- n'lagne'S eldest SOn Pippin. He WaS an ideaiist who spent his life trying to find hiI'nSelf. He explored the pIeaSUrGS Of COUIT life, the pandempnium of battle, the hassles of being HOIV ROn'lan En'IperOr, and the final experience of being a common laborer on the estate of a rich widow. Work on Pippin began as early as NOVen'lber when the show WaS decided upon, the lightS were obtained, and the staff WaS Selected. The CnOSen cast WaS Vel V Small: the talent WaS eXCellent. From the beginning the perfOrrnerS rehearsed intensely eVel V day after SChOOl in order to achieve perfection. DanCeS and songs were learned and then rehearSed SO rnanV times that eVerV0ne KheW them bv heart. Scenes were run OVer and OVer again until all the words and n'lOVernehtS ran together perfectly. PUtting on such a great performance reClUired a high degree Of C0n- Centratibn and dedication. Being quite risque and having an adult leVel of hLlrnOr, thiS WaS not a typical high SChOOl n'lLlSiCal. Erik SOlberg SLlrnrneCl Llp the prOdUCtiOn, lf the energy is 35 high HS it WaS with 'Pippin,' then SVGTV show at the SChOOl will be 3 smash hit. 40 .f Activities .FF 1 'gg 1, Augie An'1atO Sn1ileS knowing he haS an eXCellent CaSt for this Vear'S l'nUSiCal.
