Fresh off a week with Rhinebeck Writers Retreat, Rheanna Atendido and Justin Huertas bring their new indie-folk musical We’ve Battled Monsters Before in concert to The Green Room 42! This intimate, acoustic show follows two siblings vying for the chance to lead their family of Filipino witch warriors who secretly protect Seattle from otherworldly threats. Longtime friends and collaborators Rheanna and Justin share songs and stories from We’ve Battled Monsters Before—but also expect some halo halo as they mix mix in some bops and bangers from their other works, including Huertas’ hit Off-Broadway musical Lizard Boy!
