Blind Spot

Annex Theatre Company continues its 22nd season of production with the world premiere of Blind Spot, written by Bret Fetzer (Annex Theatre Artistic Director) and Juliet Waller Pruzan and directed by Rachel Katz Carey.

In the nooks and crannies of her home, eight-year-old Kirsty Vanderkamp discovers a miniature world: dust bunny farms under her bed, a burlesque show in the butter dish, a gossip magazine called Dish published in the china cabinet, a religious empire centered in the bathroom lighting fixture. As Kirsty explores and documents this world, she crosses paths with an ambitious social climber named Aura Rotter and a lovelorn farmboy named Iota Potts, who loves Aura more than is good for anybody.

If Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez co-wrote a children’s play about divorce and NAFTA, it might look a little like Blind Spot. Nine actors play more than 50 roles while a handful of tables and chairs transform into a dozen locations.
