Annex at Zephyr Theatre

Annex is a dark comedy of queer family, mental illness, and magical realism. Elliot is a single parent who's never had full custody of their trans teenage son due to ongoing mental health issues. Their friends Michael and Lee, who helped raise the Kid, are looking for ways to move forward in their lives. Their best friend Georgia is less available than ever due to a new relationship. Frustrated by the ongoing demands of balancing a job as a tarot-reading advice columnist, aspirations as a parent, and their role as community oracle, Elliot conjures a mysterious entity known as Belinda Carlisle. At first, the talking bowl of pink light seems like a miracle cure, providing Elliot with energy, focus, and stability that they hope will allow them to show up for their son and friends. But as Elliot becomes more and more dependent on her help, Belinda Carlisle becomes something more threatening.
