"Amniotes: an imaginary History of the end of the World from 1954 - 20XX"
Written and directed by William D. Brattain

In the shadow of the monorail sits a building with no name. Once a nightclub, most recently bland office space, and formerly a theater, we have swooped in to reappropriate this space according to our whims and desires: this space fallen into disuse by the same calamity that has rendered so much of our fair city abandoned and flailing.

The Irrealist Theater (TIT) defines Irrealism as the subjective use of established, empirical truths for the auspices of awesome and aberrant circumstances. Fiercely devoted to the creation of new work in theater, installation, and sculpture, TIT is developing the Irrealist aesthetic for the masses, for artists to use as they see fit, and to usher in a new age of art at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

We have many, many allies.

Working out of Implied Violence's secret warehouse and utilizing the talents of Seattle's most dedicated and hard-working artists, The Irrealist Theater, a new company brandishing a new artistic movement presents to you a new site-specific play (this is as it should be):

"Amniotes: an imaginary History of the end of the World from 1954 - 20XX"
Written and directed by William D. Brattain

Featuring the work of:

Actors Meredith Binder, Sharon Dummar and Jeffrey Willey, plus many more.
Installation artist and sculptor Maxx Lexington.
Kinetic sculptor Casey Curran.
Visual artist Thomas Vincent Chapel.
Theremin musician DiTolvo.
Sound designer Lily Nguyen.
Videographer Lisa Reynolds.

"Amniotes" received a staged reading in December of 2008 at the Free Sheep Foundation in its former Belltown location.

Location: 2115 5th Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98121.
Public preview: August 11th. Opening: August 13th. Show dates August 14th & 15th, 19th - 22nd. All shows at 8pm.
$15 suggested donation (no one turned away due to lack of funds).
For reservations please call 206.335.6836 or email amniotesarepeopletoo@gmail.com.

In conjunction with "Amniotes", visual artist Thomas Vincent Chapel presents new art and installation work in "Beyond Boss", featuring KRONOS.

Opening reception: August 12th. Closing reception: August 28th.
Gallery hours: 6pm - 10pm M-F, 10am - 10pm Saturday and Sunday.
Free and open to the public.

Produced in cooperation with Implied Violence, Boom! Theater, GreenStage and the Seattle Founders Day Festival.
