Annex Theatre Presents Comte's 2nd Annual 49th Birthday Bash 11/14

Annex Theatre Facilities Coordinator and 22 year company member Chris Comte is dragging himself kicking and screaming into his 50's. And what better way to celebrate the reluctant leaving behind of youth, the imminent transition into middle-age, and inevitable slide into geriatric decline than by throwing THE BIGGEST PART OF THE YEAR - and you're invited!

And the best part is that 100% of the proceeds will benefit Seattle's oldest continuously producing fringe theatre company!

There'll be food! There'll be drink! There'll be entertainment:
Music by "Awesome" and Jose Bold!
Seductive Tribal Dance by Hands Of Kali!
Something from Annex's Spin The Bottle regulars Gude-Laurance (probably involving candy)!
Puppet This!
Plus a bevy of surprise Special Guests

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $12 by visiting www.brownpapertickets.com or at the door for $15 on the day of the event.

So really, what excuse do you have NOT to come? Bring your friends! Bring your mom! Bring your mom's friends! Save the date, November 14th, 5:00 p.m., on your Outlook, your iPhone, your Google, your FB, on that strange thing that hangs on your wall with all the little boxes on it - because you do NOT want to be the one person who has to listen to everyone else rave about this party of seismic proportions - that YOU missed!
ABOUT ANNEX THEATRE:

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.
