Brookfield Residents to Star in Immaculate High School's 'PIPPIN'

BROOKFIELD, CT — Immaculate High School will present "PIPPIN" on Thursday through Saturday, May 2, 3 and 4 at 7 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday.

The musical features a cast of 48 students in the story of a young man on a quest for the meaning of life. Immaculate’s production of "PIPPIN" is an original concept version of the 1972 musical; it takes place in the mind of Pippin and will feature two Leading Players (instead of one), who serve as his consciences, one a good influencer, one bad. Brookfield residents Sarah Almeida and Matthew Christe will star in the production.

Immaculate's musical this year promises to be like no other high school production as it will be performed in the round, meaning the stage will be in the middle of the gymnasium and the audience will surround it on all four sides. The Spring Musical is reimagined and directed by Matt Farina and produced by Kathleen Czel.

The lead performers of “PIPPIN” are:

Leading Player Light: Abby Giansiracusa ‘21 of Danbury
Leading Player Dark: Nicole Kolitsas ‘21 of Woodbury
Pippin: Zach Demko ‘19 of Danbury
Catherine: Sarah Almeida ‘20 of Brookfield
Charlemagne: Matthew Christe ‘19 of Brookfield
Fastrada: Victoria McFarlin ‘19 of Danbury
Berthe: Gillian “Gigi” Chapleau ‘20 of Danbury
Lewis: Arthur Michaelsen ‘20 of Newtown
Theo: Bart Flaherty ‘19 of New Fairfield

Tickets go on sale April 13.

Immaculate High School is located at 73 Southern Boulevard in Danbury, CT.
