Pella Christian’s award winning theatre department returns to the stage this week with Pippin. Marie Johnson is portraying “The Leading Player,” and says the show follows Pippin as he searches for what might offer him fulfillment in life: academics, war, simple joys, revolution, and even ordinary life. Tickets are available online for the shows at 7 p.m. today through Saturday at Pella Christian High School’s Vermeer Auditorium.
