Follow a charismatic Leading Player and their troupe of performers as they weave the tale of Pippin, a prince on a quest for meaning in a world bursting with possibilities. From the intrigue of royal courts to the thrill of battlefields, from earthly delights to the allure of simple domesticity, Pippin is determined to discover what makes life truly extraordinary.

Set against the backdrop of KWLT’s history together with vibrant costumes, featured acts, and a touch of the surreal, this production of Pippin by KWLT invites you to explore the tension between ambition and contentment, spectacle and substance.

Tickets are available online up to one hour before showtime. Walk-in tickets may also be available at the door, so arrive early to secure your spot for this spellbinding experience!
