Piedmont College Theatre to present 'Pippin' Oct. 3-6

DEMOREST - In a world full of constant pressure to conform, a young prince goes on a death-defying journey to find meaning in his existence. Will he choose a happy but simple life? Or will he risk everything for a singular flash of glory? That is the story of "Pippin," which Piedmont College Theatre will bring to the stage Oct. 3-6 at the Swanson Center for Performing Arts and Communications.<br /> <br /> First produced on Broadway in 1972, "Pippin" features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, creator of "Godspell" and "Wicked." Now on Broadway again in a Tony Award-winning revival, the musical tells the tale of a man searching for truth in a world of distracting illusions. It asks the question, if you were offered unending riches to walk the path so many have taken, would you choose instead to live a simpler life of truth?<br /> <br /> Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Oct. 3
