TBC 2017: Pippin
This Tony Award winning musical is about a prince who is trying to find a place where he fills complete in this world. The music is by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Children of Eden). Add to the story Bob Fosse stylized choreography, 22 amazing teens and a live band… and you have TBC:Pippin!
Director’s Note
Ever since I first saw Pippin years ago, I have wanted to direct this beautiful allegory of truly finding your place in this world. Teen Boot Camp was the perfect place to tell this tale. Pippin’s journey encourages us to dream but to also have the courage to discern what will bring us real joy in this life. We have worked so hard and had a wonderful time with Stephen Schwartz and Bob Fosse; two legends of musical theatre. Enjoy this incredible gem!

From the TBC Teens of 2017
This was an amazing learning experience for me. Pippin taught me how to do really well in the ensemble!
I learned to see myself in a positive light- both as a performer and a person!
It is not easy but every year it is worth it. We gain experience and learn a ton!
I loved exploring emotions in Pippin.
Made me find and inner power I never knew about!
The unity that is made during TBC is worth every second of work and I wish it never ended!
TBC has changed my life. Being a part of it has helped me find and love who I am. And helped me understand who i want to be. I love it!
I loved meeting new people and getting to know each better through rehearsing!
In all the years I’ve done TBC, I’ve had a different experience every time. ALWAYS a good experience!
