Annex Theatre

In a small space up a wonderfully janky flight of stairs, this tiny Capitol Hill venue has been the indisputable hub of Seattle's fringe theatre scene for decades. Take your drinks from the small bar into the 99-seat theatre, where up-and-coming local playwrights often get their first shoestring-budget productions and established playwrights develop their work. Recurring local variety shows like Spin the Bottle and Weird and Awesome with Emmett Montgomery also call it home.
