Poster with black background and colorful ribbon-like accents, featuring the phrase "The Writing is ON THE WALL" at the top and "39 FOR 39" in bold purple text. Around the edges are handwritten titles of movies or stories, such as "RAT CAGE," "DEADHEADING," and "CAESAR: THE PROMISE OF HARLEM."

Goal: $3,939.39 by February 5th, 2026

Season 39 is imminent, and The Writing Is on the Wall!

We’re calling our community to help us raise $3,939.39 before opening night. Annex has an amazing slate of artists for Season 39 and they and we want to support them the best we are able.

With the world we find ourselves in; the economy, the politics, the suffering, we are centering the realities of this world in our season’s theme and shows and also in our fundraising alongside it. So this fundraiser is a justice-minded, fringe-hearted campaign that invites you to give in bold “39s,” support mission-aligned nonprofits, and uplift the voices our theatre exists to amplify. Step into the movement, match your impact, and help us launch a season built for the brave.

Sugar Plum Gary

Sugar Plum Gary returns to Annex Theatre!

A gentle-hearted “Santanist,” Sugar Plum Gary is a bushy-bearded man in jolly footie pajamas who has been haunted by the Holiday Spirit ever since he experienced the real Santa, an ancient and sinister creature more Lovecraft than Dickens. Asking simply, “Does anyone have a question about Christmas?,” Gary unfolds an evening of hilarious and twisted holiday glee that begins on the fateful night when Santa visited the Rankin Bass Home for Unfortunate Children, leaving Gary as the only survivor.

Tickets starting at $15

NEXT EXIT

Written by j.chavez
Directed by Max Koh

Trapped on the side of the highway on the record setting hottest day, Miguel passes the time with Orlando, a dead possum. Together they question anything and everything that crosses their minds, all the while a sinister being lurks in the forest waiting to claim a lost soul left to die by the cars that pass along I-5. Do the deer really lead you home? Who is the Lady In Yellow? And how far can they make it in Slide?
