information from West Seattle Chamber of Commerce

'We've Battled Monsters Before' is a heartwarming family tale told by 2 storyteller musicians. Inspired by the 16th century Filipino epic “Ibong Adarna”. The show centers on Filipino identity, food, family, confronting the past and building the future.

When you’re the youngest sibling in a family of secret warriors who for generations have protected Seattle from monsters and demons, living up to your Lola’s expectations is, in a word, daunting. Adarna’s mistakes were cute at first, but when they begin to cost her family more than she ever imagined, she must decide what she would sacrifice to save them. Loosely adapted from the 16th century Filipino epic poem Ibong Adarna, playwright-composer-lyricist Justin Huertas returns to his Lizard Boy roots with a sweet and intimate actor-musician musical adventure.
