EVERETT, WA – Everett Community College students will perform EvCC theatre instructor Beth Peterson’s play “Justiceville” about the lives of superheroes and the villains who plague them Nov. 19-22 and Dec. 3-5 in EvCC’s Baker Hall, Room 120.
Performances Nov. 19-21 and Dec. 3-5 are at 7:30 p.m. On Nov. 22, the play will be at 2 p.m.
The play is written, directed and produced by EvCC theatre instructor Beth Peterson, who has worked in theatre almost all her life and taught at EvCC since 2000. Peterson’s plays have previously been produced at the Seattle Fringe Festival, Center Stage Theatre, 14/48 theatre festival, Fringe/ACT Theater and Stone Soup Theatre.
Justiceville is a dark, gritty and comic look at the crime fighting efforts of Dark Avenger, Justiceville's main crime fighter, and his constant struggle to keep his arch nemesis, Alexander Bozo, at bay.
All the while, Mary Stacy, Dark Avenger's girlfriend/publicist must wrestle with her own demons while struggling to make a relationship work with a superhero. Told in a three episode structure, Justiceville is an action-packed exploration of the super hero psyche and the question of identity.
Each performance will include a guest villain. Guest villains include Nick Polling and Sam Polling, EvCC instructors Alegdy Carrillo-Martin, Steve Powell, and Don Smith and EvCC vice presidents Sandra Fowler-Hill and John Olson.
The all-student cast and crew includes: Chris Mudd, Alex DeRoest, Chrissy Kayatta, Ashley Reed, Joren Thiessen, Carson Matthew, Geoff Kuth, Galen Nowak, Dylan Olson, Daniel Robles, Rachel Ulrich, Emily DeRoest, Cassie Donaldson, Nick Oshie, Jamie Smith, Steven Tasoff and Journey Perry.
