The picture above features senior Spencer Matthews as King Charlemagne the Great and senior Joseph Hunt as young Prince Pippin. Pippin is the heir to the Frankish throne, searching for true happiness and fulfillment. The play shows Pippin seeking glories of the battlefield, pursuing women and the intrigues of political power after disposing his father.

In the end, Pippin finds happiness not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.

Sherwood’s fall production of “Pippin” took center stage last week on November 13, 14, 20 and 21 in the Ertzman Theater. The cast of Pippin worked tirelessly to put on a fantastic show that also featured senior Lizzie Boscolo and junior Sarah Lesho as leading players, junior Simone Hicks as Fastrada, junior Lindsay Tagliere as Catherine, junior Gregory Lin as Theo and an ensemble of many other students.
