American Family Theater: Pippi Longstocking March 29, 2009

Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Macrelmint Ephraim’s Daughter Longstocking – or Pippi for short – lives by herself with a horse and monkey in an old abandoned villa. Her father is a pirate, her mother is in heaven, and she is the strongest girl in the world. Pippi’s life is full of adventure: exploring the carnival, defending her home from thieves, and eluding Mrs. Prysselius and the Child Welfare Board. But, when her father Captain Longstocking returns from his voyage, will Pippi choose to stay in the villa alone, or to join her father on the pirate ship? American Family Theater’s production of Astrid Lindren’s popular children’s story brings this most outrageous redhead to life in an enjoyable performance for the whole family.

All ages, especially recommended for ages 5 and up.

This event also shows at 3 p.m.

Venue: Carriage House Theatre at Montalvo Arts Center
