Shoreline resident in production at Seattle Children's Theatre

Shoreline resident Lauren Hwang will play a Flamingo Pink Duck in the Seattle Children's Theatre production of Mario and the Comet from July 20-22 for ages 7 and up in the Charlotte Martin Theater at Seattle Center.

The production stars local drama students in cast and crew roles working alongside professional SCT staff and director Courtney Sale, SCT Artistic Director. Book and lyrics by Gabriel Jason Dean; music and lyrics by David Dabbon.

The Venedicci Comet is headed straight toward Earth. Apocalyptics predict that it will strike, causing total annihilation; while most scientists speculate it will be a near-miss and Earthlings will behold history’s most awe-inspiring celestial event. 

Either way, Mario is prepared. With a chorus of rubber ducks and soaring songs about the theory of relativity, Mario and the Comet is a new musical adventure-comedy about how absence can be like an earth-shattering comet; but when faced together as a family, it can become a thing of beauty— a celebration of life and love.

$12 tickets are available online or by contacting the SCT Box Office at 206-441-3322.
