Pippi Longstocking

Bellingham Arts Academy for Youth (BAAY) presents Pippi Longstocking! This production will feature classic Pippi tales, as well as entirely new adventures, with original music by Soren Ficklin and Evan Ingalls. In this heartwarming story, we are introduced to Pippi Longstocking — a freckle-faced redhead with superhuman strength and seemingly boundless confidence. Pippi and her pet monkey, Mr. Nilsson, gets caught in a storm at sea and they wash ashore near the Villa Villekulla. It is here that Pippi meets members of the town and inspires them to embrace all wonderfully weird sides of themselves, to get off their phones, and to connect with the world around them.

Pippi Longstocking is a musical about self-discovery, friendship, and finding your inner joy. Performances run for four weekends from May 10 to June 2 at the BAAY Theatre and feature student performers ages 9-12. Tickets and more information at baay.org.
