BHSPippin25 honors the past and celebrates the present

When the curtain rises for this year’s Burlington High School spring musical, Pippin, the 2018 cast and crew of Burlington High School’s spring musical will be celebrating the Silver Anniversary of the show’s first performance at BHS. The names and faces may have changed but 25 years have not changed the music, words or thrill of performing this multiple award-winning musical.

Having reached this milestone, BHS is pleased to announce that it will host a reunion of the original cast on Friday, March 23, following that evening’s performance. Honoring the past and celebrating the present, BHSPippin25 will take place in the lobby of the high school and will include refreshments, a meet and greet between cast members then and now, photo ops and a Pippin singalong.

In 1993 a unique tradition was established by the drama club honoring one cast member as “Chorus Member of the Year.” To this day, this award shines the spotlight on the excellence, outstanding service and dedication by a non-leading cast member to the spring musical. The honoree is entrusted with the care of King Charlemagne’s Cape, worn in the 1993 performance of Pippin, and the charge of attaching to “The Cape” some small memento from this year’s performance.

Performances of Pippin will take place March 16, 17, 23 and 24 at 7:30 pm, and March 25 at 2:00 pm, in the Fogelberg Performing Arts Center of Burlington High School. Tickets are available for purchase at www.BurlingtonTheatre.com, 781-A-FUN-TIC and at the door and range between $10-$15. BHSPippin25 cast members are asked to contact Kate McMahon at 781-270-1860 for special seating options.

Fogelberg Performing Arts Center, an accessible venue, is located at 123 Cambridge Street on the campus of Burlington High School.
