Townspeople Sean Finucane, Emily McNeale and Brittyn Slocum surround Victor Frankenstein, played by Tristan Fackler. He wrote an original script of the popular novel, which will be performed the next two weekends at Washougal High School's Washburn auditorium.

Tristan Fackler always thought it would be cool to write and produce an original play.

When he was a Washougal High School freshman, Fackler asked a senior if he thought drama teacher Kelly Gregersen would be willing to consider a student play, and the response was an emphatic, “No way!” “That was kind of disappointing to hear, but I still thought it would be cool to someday write a play,” Fackler recalled.
