Annex Theatre has long considered itself the research and development wing of the Seattle theater scene. Last Winter, Annex partnered with Rain City Projects (a playwright service organization founded in 1991) to present a theatrical experiment called Second Date, in which writers and directors had a chance to stage short pieces of work they were developing. One of those pairings was playwright Rachel Atkins (TPS Gregory Nominee for Outstanding Playwright, 2010) and director Tyrone Brown (Artistic Director, Brownbox Theatre). For Second Date, they revived a ten-minute 'Quickie' Rachel originally wrote for Live Girls! Theater (theme: 'exploration and discoveries') and expanded it to a twenty minute short. An hour-long version received a reading in the Live Girls! Cupcake Series later that year, directed by Jose Amador. Now Annex Theatre, in partnership with Brownbox, is proud to present the full-length, world-premiere production of Black Like Us, with Jose Amador returning as director.
