Season 38: Simply Uncategorizable
Established & Emerging Artists Creating Bold New Work
Annex Theatre is an anarcho-democratic collective of artists dedicated to producing bold new work in an environment of improbability, resourcefulness, and risk. Since 1986, our ever-expanding company has created magical moments onstage every season that reflect our most current worldviews and imagine exciting and visionary futures.
Join us for another incredible season of fully staged productions, script readings, and a puzzling mystery that features something for everyone: how to cope with grief, connections between literary figures across history, creative and multilingual interpretations of classic works, trauma and support from our given and chosen family, and exploring queerness all over the world.
