🎉 Excitement is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary as the Panda Players perform! It&#39;s an event like no other, and we want you to be there! 🎉 The AAO Panda Players are proud to present: Just Another Middle* School Play&nbsp;by Bryan Starchman (aka Just Another High School Play). Show Synopsis:A group of actors who have apparently been abandoned by their drama teacher have to fend for themselves on opening night in front of a live audience. In this hilarious metatheatrical comedy, a desperate Stage Manager and an overly confident Assistant Director (who has &quot;never actually seen a play but has great ideas&quot;) attempt to cobble together a production using whatever scripts they can find backstage. What follows is a rollicking show full of physical comedy, gags, and satirical re-writings of many classic works, from Shakespeare to Thornton Wilder. This is a collaboration between our Panda Players, a group of 5th to 8th graders, and the AAOCC, our school&#39;s nonprofit PTO.&nbsp; 2 performances of Just Another Middle* School Play&nbsp;(by Bryan Starchman) will take place at Forsythe Middle School Auditorium. This means that we can accommodate a LOT more audience members compared to past years. Thank you for supporting our Theatre; your support is invaluable. Shows start at 2:00 pm and 6:00&nbsp;pm and last approx. 90 minutes.
