Beginning Friday, Playmakers of Baton Rouge presents the family-friendly musical Pippi Longstocking at the Reilly Theatre at LSU. The titular Pippi is the “World's Strongest Girl”—and when she takes up residence in a small, conservative village with a menagerie of animals and no parents in sight, things in her adopted home take a turn for the strange. Pippi charms and delights the children of her village with her strength, confidence and tales of derring-do, but the adults are as confounded as the children are rapt. How Pippi manages to turn the situation around—and change the hearts and minds of everyone she comes across—is a story that will wow audiences of all ages. Find out more at playmakers.net.
