Annex Theatre invites you to a new solo show by "Awesome" vox banjo player Dr. David M. Nixon P.h.D about the meaning of life in Center Cut Ham Dinner Night Slide Show. Center Cut Ham Dinner Night Slide Show opens Tuesday November 2nd and runs Tue & Wed through November 17th, 8pm. $10 General $5 TPS/Student/Senior/Military Buy tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com.

Dr. David M. Nixon, Ph.D. (Philosophy professor, actor, musician, dancer, animator, painter, and member of local absurdist art pop theater band "Awesome") brings a world premier solo show to Annex Theatre. You see, lately the good doctor has been thinking about The Meaning of Life: What makes the difference between a pointless, wasted life and a meaningful, worthwhile, well-lived life? What is it in virtue of which one life is more or less meaningful? In this show, he tackles this question with a surprise package of music, animation, film, dance, and mouth noises. As with any significant philosophical discourse, a stiff drink is recommended and readily available in the Annex lounge.

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 13th 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 Seattle Children's Theatre Teaching Artist and former Annex Artistic Director Gillian Jorgensen, 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.
