What a Disaster! Palisades High School’s Theatre department is putting on their annual fall play, this one very different from the rest. Co-directors Owen Brandes and Aiden Nokoudian, co-producers Cora Anderson, Mason Campbell, and stage manager Eva Oschmann are all working together to put on this fun and outstanding play. The One-Act Play Disaster will be hitting the Palisades High School stage on Friday, November 10th and Saturday, November 11th. 

The One Act Play Disaster is about an unauthorized production of Oceans 11 being put on, but everything that can be expected to go right in a good play goes wrong in this play. There is a light board operator out for revenge, a dollar-store set, and cast members that are a hot mess. The company must work together to hold the show together for their opening night and if anything goes wrong, the show must go on.

We asked some of the cast and crew members of the play about the show and what the audience should expect. “This show is so funny as the thieves try to execute the heist, but completely mess it up. It is such a great play,” says lead actor William Zaleski. It sounds like this play is going to be a wild one! 

To go see if the directors manage to hold the cast, crew, and stage together, go see Palisades High School’s One Act Play Disaster, on November 10th at 7pm and November 11th at 2pm.
