cast- Dramedy and Comma Show

from her perspective. Watch as women from our advanced performing troupe
perform Dramedy and Comma on their own. No men will be allowed on stage

bicycle.

the next three years will be even better!

Pan Theater's 2005 season kickoff was
a great success. It was a great audience, a great show and a great
night. Everyone had tons of fun. It was the debut of Pan Theater's small
troupe with a wonderfully exciting and fantastically funny short form
set. The long form second half explored cartoons, politics and breakfast
food. There were smurfs, tech school graduates and superheroes. Wow. The
next show promises to be even better.
