career out of storytelling –
both in the classroom and

Union High School in
1983, teaches acting and
theatre at Everett Com-
munity College in Ev-
erett, Wash., in addition
to writing and produc-

tic version of “Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde,” ran in six

28 and March 5-7 at the
college.

Beth Peterson
Her other recent origi-
nal works include a read-
ing of her play, “Bully,” by
the Northwest Playwrights
Alliance at the Seattle
Repertory Theatre, and a
humorous sketch, “Gui-
do in Therapy,” which is
being performed by West-
ern Washington Univer-
sity theater students on
tour.
Peterson, the daughter
of Bev and Ken Peter-
son of John Day, earned
a master’s degree from
the University of Texas
at Austin, and has been
on the Everett Communi-
ty College faculty since
2000.
She is on the staff of
SketchFest Seattle, and
has been a member of
Northwest
Playwrights
Alliance
for
several
years.
Peterson has associa-
tions with several theater
groups, and her work has
been featured at the Se-
attle Fringe Festival and
other events.
A MAN
WAKES
UP in the
morning
after sleeping on...
an advertised bed, in advertised
pajamas.
He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
DON’T MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE
Advertising is an investment, not an expense. Think about it!
