"The Accidental Pervert" tells the hilarious story of an 11-year-old boy who finds his Dad's adult video collection. This riotous narrative takes the audience on a real-life adventure through one boy's distorted views of sex and love, until he meets his wife and ultimately becomes a father himself.

The Panama City production will feature Panamanian star Aaron Zebede in the play. Mr. Zebede, a celebrated actor, director and producer in Panama, has won the "Premio Escena" Best Actor award three times for his portrayal of Tevye in "Fiddler on the Roof," Otto Frank in "The Diary of Anne Frank," and Toddy in "Victor Victoria."

"I'm really excited to see what [Aaron Zebede] will do with the role since he's such a great performer," stated Andrew Goffman, "Although" (said with a smirk), "I am better looking. It will be nice seeing someone else play the part, since I have been playing with myself for so long!"
