West Seattle's Lisa Coronado joins two other Seattle actresses in new film 'Different Drummers'
West Seattle's Lisa Coronado whose acting career includes the locally produced show The Divine Marigolds and who recently completed the film "Ghostlight" joins two other Seattle actresses and two young male actors in a new film called "Different Drummers" which will open in Seattle area AMC Theaters on March 14 (Southcenter) and 21 (Alderwood).
A family film, it tells a true story that takes place on the north side of Spokane in the 1960s, and focuses on the unlikely friendship of two fourth-graders, hyperactive Lyle and his best friend David, who is in a wheelchair with muscular dystrophy. When David accurately predicts the death of their 4th grade teacher, and says God told him, Lyle decides to test the existence of God by trying to get David to run again.
Coronado and Meg McLynn also of Seattle are the lead actresses as the mothers of the two boys, and Colleen Carey plays the grade school principal.
McLynn is acclaimed in the Seattle area for her work in musical theatre (The Who’s Tommy, Pinocchio, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson), and she is also well-known in the area as a core faculty member at Freehold Theatre Lab.
