SPIN THE BOTTLE – Friday, July 1st at 11pm
July’s edition of Spin the Bottle features, in no particular order:

The follicular stupendousness of EMMETT MONTGOMERY!
The raw throatiness of LESLI WOOD!
A puppetastic adaptation of the Greek tragedy AGAMEMNON!
The abundant drollery of UBIQUITOUS THEY!
The rueful words of BECKY BRUHN!
Sheer inexplicability from GUDE/LAURANCE!
Dirty, dirty thoughts from DARTANION LONDON!
…and more, more, more!

All held together by the lean and chewy BRUCE HALL!

Annex Theatre’s Spin the Bottle — featuring theater, music, dance, spoken word, film, and whatever else we can find — has appeared on the first Friday of every month since Sept 12, 1997.

Curated from the beginning by Bret Fetzer.

Emmett Montgomery takes over Annex Theatre on the first Sunday of every month at 7:30pm. Check it out!

WEIRD AND AWESOME WITH EMMETT MONTGOMERY – Sunday, July 3rd at 7:30pm
Weird and Awesome with Emmett Montgomery is a hideous monster with a heart of gold made up of fleshy bits of songs, jokes, sharing, talented people, prizes and nightmares sewn together with a thread of laughter and booze. Part awkward sharing party. part amazing variety show each show features talented people doing the things that they are really good at or something out of their comfort zone:

You will be shared with!
You will be sung at and told a story!
You will witness strange and wonderful things!
You will be told jokes by a comedian of note!
You will most likely win prizes!

All these will be hosted by Emmett Montgomery with special assistance from Barbara Holm.

Doors at 7pm, show at 7:30.

Plus Special Guests! Prizes!

Hosted by mustache wizard Emmett Montgomery (stand-up comedian galore), assisted by child prodigy Barbara Holm.
