Performing Arts Night (学芸会), PAN 2022, is set to take place in the evening of Thursday, Dec. 15th, in our auditorium. This will be our first in-person PAN in over two years, and will also kick off the celebration of JBBP's 50th anniversary.
All the students in JBBP, K through 5th, will go up on stage and sing beautiful Japanese songs chosen by our wonderful music teacher, Ruriko Sensei. There will also be taiko performances and a food sale as a fund-raiser for the 2023 graduation, which has been a long-standing tradition for JBBP.

To avoid overcrowding, PAN Committee will require Reserved Seating Tickets during the first half of the performance. The second half of the show, following intermission, is open for general seating
The ticket counter will open in the library at 6pm on the evening of the performance. A maximum of two tickets per adult will be distributed
300 plus seats are available for reserved general seating (first half of the performance only). Tickets are distributed from front seats to back on a “first come first serve” basis
Tickets are free but you need to come to the ticketing table to get them. Distribution starts at 6 pm but the line starts forming much earlier. When auditorium doors open, guests with reserved seat tickets will be allowed in first, then non-ticket holders will be admitted. Non-ticket holders can stand in the back and side of the auditorium.
Please contact us at pan@clarendonjbbp.org if you require handicapped seating or wheelchair access.
