Pippi Longstocking, will be presented one week-end only, March 26-28, by Red Branch Theatre Company, the adult theatre company in residence at Drama Learning Center. This charming play, directed by Stephanie Lynn Williams, promises to be a treat for the whole family!

On the outskirts of town stands a ramshackle house. It may not seem like much 'til you peek through the railings...then, there's a horse on the porch, a monkey in the kitchen and a freckle faced, red-pigtailed, whirlwind of a girl in mismatched stockings presiding over all! This is the domain of Pippi Longstocking!

Pippi is outrageously unsupervised and proud of it. She has what she needs to get by, and if she doesn't she'll make something up that will do the trick. Her father is a pirate captain off sailing the seas. Her mother is an angel watching over her from heaven. And neither Mrs. Prysselius, head of the Child Welfare Board, nor Thunder and Bloom, a couple of ne'erdo- wells who try to abscond with the gold in her pirate treasure chest can get the best of her. Along with her best friend Annika and her monkey Mr. Neilsson, Pippi's adventures are sure to entertain audience members of all ages.

Pippi Longstocking is based on the same-named fictional character in a series of children's books by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren.

This production will also feature Parents' Night Out PJ Parties on Friday, 3/26 and Saturday 3/27 from 7-11 pm. This is a great opportunity for parents to enjoy their own night out, while the Drama Learning Center Staff entertains children with crafts and games, after they have watched a performance Pippi Longstocking.
