Pippin the Musical presented by Country Gate Players

-

Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. 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 unextraordinary moments that happen every day. “Pippin’s” message is universal and will connect with audiences across the age spectrum.

Nestled in the Town of Belvidere, this non-profit group presents musicals, dramas, comedies, murder mysteries, a holiday classic in December, and special events. An intimate theater - not a bad seat in the house!
