“Young people today truly confront a “world they never made” and face the question of how to live in it and whether or not they can change it.” Says Director Richard Weinstock. “PPTOPA’s production of PIPPIN, by reflecting back the spirit of the Summer of Love 1967 in a fun, fresh and theatrical way, gives a revealing perspective and insight on trying to cope with contemporary society.”
