Community Involvement: Absurd Reality Theatre is very excited to present Guardians on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

A.R.T. is also looking forward to sharing this opportunity with many locally based community organizations affected by the Iraq War. They include Iraqi Veterans Against the War (IVAW) , No War Against Iraq Coalition of Washington, Washington ACLU branch, and the Arab American Community Coalition. We will have information available about these organizations in our lobby as well as having a presentation at our Gala event on Saturday, January 10th. at Theater Off Jackson. For our lobby display, we will have an alternating display from a mass of local artists.

EVIL DEAD THING
It’s an old story: boy and friends spend the weekend at an abandoned cabin, boy hopes to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive. We let five monkeys fight over 6 typewriters in hopes of producing something akin to Shakespeare. What we got... was Evil Dead Thing. Zombie Shakespeare would be proud. Based on Sam Raimi’s ‘80s cult classic films EVIL DEAD, EVIL DEAD 2, and ARMY OF DARKNESS. January 15-24 at Re-Bar, Thursdays through Saturdays.
The Undead: Brandyn Brittingham, Ahren Buhman, Laine Mullen, Jeff Orton, Claire Ryman, Maridee Slater, and Kaylynn What.
Absurd Reality is a Program of The Shunpike
