Come Play With Violet

Debuting Friday on the Disney Channel, the action-comedy follows Violet Rodriguez, a Mexican-American girl gifted with extraordinary powers by a magical wrestling mask. Transforming into Ultra Violet, she teams up with her luchador-superhero uncle, Cruz J. Villarreal from Akeelah and the Bee , also known as Black Scorpion, to fight crime. Then she gets this mask, and it gives her these powers, and there is this whole other being that she has to become," Estevez told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. I think it is really important for kids to see someone that looks like them on TV.

Opera House Theatre Co. The show dates back to , but had a short Broadway run in The music is good Jeanine Tesori has written scores for shows as diverse as "Fun Home" and "Shrek the Musical" , but "Violet" isn't one where you leave the theater wanting to belt out the tunes you just heard. The story, however, which is very well-acted by a cast under the direction of Jason Aycock, is likely to stay with you for a long time.

Announced on the games' website following the unveiling of its release date in a new trailer , Scarlet and Violet promise "a deeper experience with multiplayer gameplay". While details haven't been offered — we don't know if there are specific multiplayer areas, for example — the move would seem to go hand-in-hand with the games' more open structure. Scarlet and Violet will be open world games, and players will be able to visit areas in any order, without the story gating progress. The trailer above seems to back this up as a feature of multiplayer, seemingly showing four players in a single game, exploring very different areas simultaneously. It's not clear how traditional multiplayer elements like trading and battling will be be affected by co-op either.

Today's trailer also confirmed a worldwide release date of 18th November. Digital pre-orders are live already via the Nintendo Switch eShop. These include the adorable pig creature Lechonk, which is already getting a lot of love online.
