SATURDAY NOVEMBER 28TH 1PM EST

PIPPI LONGSTOCKING
Written by Astrid Lindgren
Adapted for the stage and translated into English by Ken Rea
Adapted for digital performance by Ida Biering and Scandinavian American Theater Company

Pippi Longstocking, a free-spirited nine-year old known as "the strongest girl in the world", moves into the abandoned Villa Villekulla with her horse and pet monkey, Mr. Nilsson. Without a mother and with an absent, sea-faring pirate father, Pippi befriends the neighbor's children, Tommy and Annika-and they, like the rest of the town, soon learn that Pippi is a girl who likes to do things her own way.
