Annex Theatre Presents PENGUINS: Episode 3, The Bishop's Bastard 8/7-27

Nuns with guns are back this summer in a fully-loaded, blasphemous new installment of Annex Theatre's Penguins 3: The Bishop's Bastard written by Scot Augustson and directed by Bret Fetzer. Penguins 3: The Bishop's Bastard opens Saturday August 7th, 11pm and runs Fri & Sat through August 27th with PWYC August 13th & 14th, 11pm and Industry Night (PWYC) August 23rd, 8pm at Annex Theatre, corner of 11th & East Pike Street in the heart of Seattle's Capitol Hill. $10 General, $5 TPS/Student/Senior/Military.

The bloody feud between nuns and priests gets set aside in the face of a greater threat: Other churches! Everyone thinks the Bishop's illegitimate child can be used to their advantage, so the bastard's baptism becomes a war zone filled with forbidden love, strange addictions, May/ December romance, schizophrenia, radical atheists and musical numbers. Come see the bullets fly in Ep. 3 of PENGUINS!

Written by Scot Augustson and directed by Bret Fetzer.

Featuring Daniel Christensen, Chris Dietz, Katie Driscoll, Teri Lazzara, Sophie Lowenstein, Jenny Schmidt ,Jillian Vashro, Lisa Viertel and Clayton Weller.

"Augustson's late-night serial comedy Penguins is a breath of fresh, filthy air...its balls-out devotion to depravity is executed by a talented, canny cast." -- The Stranger
ABOUT THE COMPANY:

Annex Theatre is a democratic collective of theatre artists dedicated to creating bold new work in an environment of improbability, resourcefulness and risk.

In addition to new plays, Annex Theatre produces radical reinterpretations of classic scripts, ensemble-generated performances and non-linear wild-ass spectacles. Also kicking off the first Friday of every month is our late-night variety show Spin the Bottle, now entering its 12th year!

Now in its new Capitol Hill venue, Annex originally opened its doors in 1987 in a former dance studio on 4th Avenue in downtown Seattle. Since then the theater has produced hundreds of world and Northwest premieres, including new plays by Stranger Genius Award winners Chris Jeffries and Paul Mullin; dozens of local playwrights, including Jeff Resta, Kelleen Conway Blanchard, Keri Healey, Scot Augustson, John Kaufmann, Elizabeth Heffron, Heidi Heimarck, and Suzanne Maynard; and nationally recognized playwrights such as Erik Ehn, Naomi Iizuka, GLen berger, Anne Washburn, Jeffrey Jones, and Nicky Silver.

Former Annex company members alumni can be found throughout the Seattle arts community including former Artistic Director of the Empty Space Allison Narver, Executive Director of Town Hall Weir Harman, Development Director of ACT Josef Krebs and Education Director of Seattle Repertory Theatre Andrea Allen as well as in the local and national film industry such as directors SJ Chiro, Garrett Bennett, Mike Shapiro and actors Jillian Armenante and Paul Giamatti.
