DESCRIPTION:Pippin\, the tale of a young prince on his search for persona
 l significance\, comes to the George School stage in Walton Center Audit
 orium on Friday and Saturday\, May 18 and 19\, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. The hip
 \, tongue-in-cheek fairy tale\, which captivated Broadway audiences in t
 he 1970s\, features an energetic pop-influenced musical score. The perfo
 rmances are free and open to the public. Based on the book by Roger O. H
 irson\, Pippin features show stopping music and lyrics by Oscar-winning 
 composer Stephen Schwartz. The play tells the story of the young son of 
 King Charlemagne the Great who sets out on a quest to find true happines
 s and fulfillment. He seeks it in the battlefield\, the temptations of t
 he flesh\, and the intrigues of political power. &ldquo\;Pippin seems a 
 logical story for teenagers to tell\,&rdquo\; said theater teacher and d
 irector Maureen West. &ldquo\;I believe they understand his journey thro
 ugh the trials of politics\, war\, and love because they are talking abo
 ut and experiencing these topics everyday in their own lives.&rdquo\;\nP
 ippin is one of nine performances organized by the George School Arts De
 partment during the 2011-12 school year. The Arts Department offers clas
 ses in visual and performing arts\, including photography\, digital imag
