Tue, 06/02/2015
Tickets just $10
Enjoy the comedy, love, drama and origins of an original superhero comedy, Electric Man, at Burien Actors Theatre June 12 through June 20.
“ELECTRIC MAN”
Based on a concept from sketch writer and actor Adam Hegg, Electric Man is co-written by Hegg with fellow Turbo Turkey troupe members Michael Tangedahl, Josh Rodriguez and Anna Richardson. Electric Man is making its premiere at Burien Actors Theatre.
In Electric Man’s seemingly idyllic city of Micropolis, crime runs rampant in the streets. The police cannot stop it all themselves, but who else will step up? A new hero, born out of betrayal and intrigue, takes a stand against the evil that plagues his city. Those who witness are taken on an emotional thrill ride with a fair share of laughs as well.
The show, presented by Turbo Turkey with Burien Actors Theatre, is suitable for ages 13 and up due to occasional strong language and some acts of violence.
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sunday, June 25 at 2 p.m. All performances are at Burien Actors Theatre, 14501 Fourth Ave. S.W. in Burien.
Tickets are just $10. For tickets or other information, go online to www.burienactorstheatre.org or call 206-242-5180.
