A Band of Storytellers.
PigPen Theatre Co. began creating their unique brand of theatre, music, and film as freshmen at the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama in 2007.
They became the first group to win the NYC Fringe Festival’s top honor for a play two years in a row in 2010 and 2011. The NYC based company have since performed, produced, and licensed their original plays and musical adaptations all over the world – earning multiple critic’s picks and rave reviews from The New York Times, Time Out New York, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Boston Globe, and more.
PigPen's debut album, “Bremen”, was named #10 album of the year in The Huffington Post’s 2012 Grammy preview. In 2016, Sir Trevor Nunn invited the company of actor-musicians to be a part of his first American acting company for a production of Shakespeare's Pericles.
In 2018, PigPen announced they were adapting two beloved novels into live stage musicals: The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen (in collaboration with Rick Elice).
2021 marked the beginning of their three-year residency at New York City’s newest and most unique public park: Little Island. PigPen performed concerts featuring new music, engaged with students and community members, and curated The Storytelling Festival there each season.
Water For Elephants opened on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre on March 21st, 2024 and received seven Tony Award® Nominations including Best Musical.
