WETWorks: Pretty Face by Coco Justino

In the early 2000s, Ronnie was paraded through the media as THE “success story” of Camp Sheyn, an abusive weight loss program for young girls. After an unexplained 10+ year disappearance from the public eye, she returns — fat, armed with Tumblr witchcraft, and ready to lead other camp alumni in a plot for divine retribution. Coco Justino (she/they) is a multidisciplinary theatre artist based in Seattle and originally from Denver, Colorado. Coco’s original plays Rat Cage, The White Gaze, The Last Rites of Uncle Manny and Pretty Face have been developed and/or mounted at Cornish College of the Arts, Annex Theatre, Seattle Public Theatre’s Distillery Festival, by The Digital Dramaturgy Project. She has also been honored to be named Semi-Finalist for Union Arts Center’s Northwest New Works Festival and a Finalist for Pork Filled Production’s Unleashed Festival, along with SheNYC’s Summer Theatre Festival. Holding a BFA in Acting/Original Works from Cornish, Coco’s storytelling is influenced by her intersectional sexual and racial identities as well as her love for folk and rock music, horror movies, and reality TV.
