The winner of four
2013 Tony® Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical, PIPPIN is truly magical and
extraordinary! Boston Children’s Theatre
(BCT) is proud to present this thrilling musical to showcase the talents of 14-year
old Maerose Pepe of Belmont. PIPPIN will be performed July 19, 20
and 21 at The Governor’s Academy in Byfield, MA.
Cast in the role of ‘Player’
in the ensemble, Maerose is no stranger to the stage. She has appeared in The Pajama Game and And Then
There Were None with Watertown Children’s Theatre as well as The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty and The Glass

With a score by

existence or risk everything for a moment of glory? Featuring such songs as “Corner of the Sky,”
“Magic to Do,” “Glory,” and “Morning Glow,” PIPPIN is directed by Lisa Yuen, director of BCT’s 2012 Studio 3 production
