First-time playwrights bringing Star Wars spoof to stage

UWindsor grads Maggie Pinsonneault (BA 2021) and Andrew Perciballi (BComm 2017, MBA 2020) are excited to see their vision come to fruition as KordaTheatre Productions stages The Pantolorian just in time for the holidays.

The two wrote the book and lyrics for the play, a musical set in Windsor’s Devonshire Mall and ComiCon, and featuring spoofs of characters from the Star Wars universe and other cosplay favourites.

Another UWindsor alum, Karen Tompkins (BA 1989), directs, and Tracey Atin (MA 1988, BMus 1990) joins Pinsonneault as a producer.

Performances are Dec. 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, and 18 at 7 p.m. with 2 p.m. matinees Dec. 12 and 19 in the KordaTheatre, 2520 Seminole St. Find ticket information and details of the company’s COVID-19 policy at www.kordazone.com.
