Annex Threatre Presents WHEN I COME TO MY SENSES, I'M ALIVE 4/23-5/22

Annex Theatre digitizes human emotion in the World Premiere of When I Come To My Senses, I'm Alive! written by Seattle-based playwright Scotto Moore and directed by Kristina Sutherland.

When I Come To My Senses, I'm Alive! is a science-fiction play about a technological provocateur who invents a method for capturing emotions as digital information in an effort to chart the human emotional genome. She publishes these "emoticlips" over the internet and develops a cult following of fans who download them and play them back in hobby-built receiver helmets. This sensational user experience is not without its consequences, as an entertainment conglomerate plots to acquire her invention by whatever means necessary. Even more unexpected, however, is how these digitized emotions affect the internet itself.

Scotto Moore wrote and directed the hit science-fiction play interlace (falling star) for Annex Theatre. Scotto adapted and directed the late night Principia Discordia LIVE!and is also the creator of the cult favorite web series, CHERUB - The Vampire With Bunny Slippers, which ran for 25 episodes. When I Come To My Senses, I'm Alive! is the third collaboration between Scotto Moore and Kristina Sutherland on a new theatrical work.

Kristina Sutherland is a playwright, director, actor and teaching artist based in Seattle. Kristina is ACT's Director of Education and the co-founder and Artistic Director of Macha Monkey Productions, a nonprofit dedicated to creating fearless, funny, female theatre since 2001. Her directing credits include Macha Monkey's productions of Kid Simple, a radio play in the flesh by JorDan Harrison, The Cowgirl Playby Prewitt and Sutherland and Melancholy Play by Sarah Ruhl.

The cast of When I Come To My Senses, I'm Alive! features Katie Beudert, LaChrista Borders, Daniel Christensen, Curtis Eastwood, Jade Justad, Jesse Keeter and Jen Pratt.

Annex Theatre Company is dedicated to creating bold new work in an environment of improbability, resourcefulness and risk.

In addition to new plays, Annex produces radical reinterpretations of classic scripts, ensemble- generated performances, and non-linear wild-ass spectacles, as well as our monthly late-night variety show Spin the Bottle, now entering its 12th year. Annex Theatre's Artistic Director is Bret Fetzer
