Geffen Playhouse to Open New Kinross Annex Performance Space

The Geffen Playhouse will hold its first performance in its new Geffen Playhouse Kinross Annex on Saturday, November 6 at 2pm.

The Annex will act as headquarters for the Geffen’s resident education partner, the Story Pirates, a nationally recognized arts and literacy organization, to work and rehearse for their in-school creative writing and drama programs, as well as hold weekly performances, workshops and classes that are open to the community.

The Geffen began its Story Pirates partnership in 2009 as a way to expand the resources of the theater’s current in-school initiatives. Story Pirates, originally founded in New York in 2003, works to engage students in underresourced public schools by showing them that their ideas, their words and their stories are important.
