Theater Anonymous Presents It's A Wonderful Life

Doors open at 6:00pm, showtime at 7:30pm

ASL Interpreted

The premise of Theater Anonymous is simple. Nobody knows the cast, not even the cast. Approximately 30 actors have been selected through an invitation process and each are rehearsing one-on-one with the directors, never meeting their fellow actors. Actors must take an oath of secrecy and are allowed to tell only one other person on earth that they are participating. Who will be the next George Bailey? Who will play Mary? Potter? Clarence? Nobody knows, and that's the fun of it.

This year we are back at The Cornish Playhouse in Seattle Center. Doors will open at 6:00pm so you can enjoy drinks, visits with Santa, cookie-decorating and more! After the show, don't forget to take part in our Crockpot Grotto and our Snowball Fight! It's the holiday extravaganza you don't want to miss!

Join us for an evening of improv comedy with YTN's Chaos Theory improv troupe. The Neutral Timers will start off the evening with some hilarious short-form improv comedy games. Then the Old Timers will take you on an improvised journey to a fictional small town full of kooky characters and hijinks. Nothing warms a cold winter evening like Chaos Theory comedy!

Trouble in Mind by Alice Childress debuted Off-Broadway in 1955. It was "re-discovered" and had its Broadway premiere on November 18, 2021. Join us to see what makes this play worth attending 70 years after it was written! It seems unbelievable this play from the 1950s fits so neatly into 2024.

1957. Rehearsals begin on what everyone hopes will be Broadway's next big hit. But social norms and prejudices collide, and so Wiletta Mayer, a gifted Black actress, will finally get to play the lead role in a Broadway show if she's willing to compromise her principles. Funny, moving, and a look at identity, ego, and racism in the high-stakes world of New York theatre. This 1955 comedy-drama—planned for Broadway but canceled when the playwright wouldn't change its ending—finally made its triumphant Broadway premiere in 2021.

After catching her fiance kissing another woman at the televised Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, Mary's life falls apart -- just in time for the holidays. Over the next year, she stumbles back into the dating world, where "romance" ranges from the weird and creepy to the absurd and comical. It seems nothing can help Mary's growing cynicism, until the charm and innocence of a five-year-old boy unexpectedly brings a new outlook on life and love. A heartwarming one-actor show that offers a hilarious modern alternative to traditional holiday shows.

Contains some adult language and adult content.

Maggie Larrick and Rochelle Flynn.
