Jettison to Europa
Written by Andy Park-Buffelen
Directed by Zenaida Rose Smith
August 8 – 30, 2025
Jettison to Europa follows an astronaut, Carey, as she pioneers the inaugural expedition to Europa, one of Jupiter’s many moons. Confined to her shuttle’s cockpit during this years-long mission, she is drawn in by the small satellite’s allure as it pulls her away from home. The journey puts both Carey and her relationships back on Earth on an arduous trajectory. Will Carey’s obsession with reaching Europa cost her everything?

Live Stream
Every performance is human curated for the best perspective moment-to-moment in the show and will be available to stream live. Recordings will be available to view on demand for up to two weeks after closing.
Masking & Air Filtration
All audience and staff are required to wear masks in all spaces unless they are actively eating and drinking. The theatre has minimal airflow and air filtration devices, so utilizing masks maintains safety for our performers, patrons, and staff. If you forget your mask, we will have extras available at the box office.
Annex Theatre partners with Seattle Clean Air Collective to include air filtration devices in public areas.
