It's time to revisit the finer points of higher learning, hard lessons, and hot lunch in Nite Skool! Get your ass to class for this genre-blending, boundary-crushing skool nite full of music, dance, comedy, and so much more as we plumb the depths of our fine education system (including, but not limited to: sex "education," American imperialism, and dreams drowned in a bucket of meatballs). Annex Theatre darlings The Libertinis, wordsmith Max Kirchner, surprise Substitute Teachers, and a full roster of bad kids with good reputations will teach you that curiosity is a lifelong endeavor, there's always more to the story, and that listening is the best way to learn.

Created by The Libertinis - Seattle's sexiest interarts gang - Nite Skool is the ultimate cheat sheet for relearning everything you forgot and forgetting everything you thought you knew about sex, war, and hot lunch.

"Nite Skool - and the team creating it - is a reminder that unlearning the lies we were taught in school is an essential step in changing the ongoing narrative of our world, especially in these dark times. By insisting on the legitimacy of off-beat, gut-wrenching, femme-powered performance, we join many in history in turning 'low art' into 'high comedy' doused with our patented sexy lighter fluid." - The Libertinis

Nite Skool runs July 28 through August 19 - Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30pm. Preview on Thursday, July 27, and Industry night on Monday, August 7 at 7:30pm. $20 general / $12 TPS, Senior, Military / $5 Students. All Thursdays are Pay-What-You-Can at Annex Theatre at the corner of 11th & Pike in Capitol Hill. Tickets at annextheatre.org.
