but I wanted you to be aware that tonight is the closing night for Annex Theater’s well-reviewed and warmly received Penguins, Episode 2 – Roll Away the Rock at 11pm at the Annex Theatre at 11th and Pike on Capitol Hill. You can also check out their Alecto, Issue #1 tonight at 8pm; that show will end its run tomorrow night at 8pm. Check one or both of them out if you can. And, FYI: Episode 3 of Penguins will debut in August. For more info, go to the website.
Sketch comedy lovers will want to check out The Cody Rivers Show at the Theatre Off Jackson either this weekend or next. The Stranger Genius Award winners move on to a tour that crosses the US and Canada after this run and it might be awhile before they’re back in Seattle. There are very few tickets left for tomorrow (Saturday the 20th) but if you hurry you can reserve seats for next weekend. Check them out here.
