Annex Theatre

Annex Theatre is a Capitol Hill performance venue and artist-led theatre company focused on new, adventurous work. Its auditorium is designed for live performance, with a stage, theatre lighting, a sound board and projection equipment. The room can accommodate up to 86 people, including when its livestreaming equipment is in use, making it suited to intimate performances, readings and community gatherings rather than large-scale events.

The theatre’s community programme sometimes invites proposals for gatherings beyond its mainstage productions. Selected projects may use the theatre at no charge and receive basic technical support, an on-site staff member, access to the lobby and concessions, and help promoting the event where appropriate. Possible formats include workshops, comedy nights, performances and other community-led activities. Organisers should describe their idea, intended audience, preferred dates and technical requirements as part of a proposal. Availability and support depend on selection and scheduling, so this is not a general-purpose venue hire offer.

The auditorium has a compact stage and theatre-style seating, with livestreaming available for suitable events. The building is on the second floor and reached by stairs, with no lift, so organisers should consider access needs when planning. Annex Theatre also produces new plays and staged readings, and provides opportunities for artists to develop and present work. For event planners seeking an intimate Seattle theatre setting, it offers a distinctive stage environment and a route to propose certain community-focused events, subject to the theatre’s programme and approval.
