BAD PANDA at Fantastic.Z Theatre this Spring

Fantastic.Z Theatre's heartfelt and hilarious season begins with Bad Panda, a play by Megan Gogerty of the Iowa Writer's Workshop that's been performed from Beijing to Baltimore and is receiving its Northwest Premier in Seattle!

When Gwo Gwo and Marion become the last two pandas on earth, the heat is on as they attempt to repopulate. There's just one small problem- Gwo Gwo has fallen in love with Chester, a crocodile.

When Marion ventures out of the enclosure and returns with a bouncing baby panda and Gwo Gwo begins to examine the difference between predator and prey, the three must navigate the challenges of co-parenting, identity politics, postpartum depression, and what it takes to be a Good Panda.

Join us for this zoological exploration of non-traditional families directed by Kate Huisentruit playing March 23rd through April 8th

Produced in association with Theatre Off Jackson.

409 7th Ave S., Seattle, WA 98104
