Season 41 > Annabella In July
World Premiere
Annabella In July
By: Richard Strand
Directed by: David Ellenstein
This World Premiere comedic fantasy transforms a ski resort during the off-season into a strangely magical environment of self-discovery. Playwright Richard Strand (of last season’s smash-hit, Ben Butler) poses questions of identity and perception in this funny and insightful new work. You will find yourself laughing out loud and simultaneously examining the hopes and dreams of your own life experiences. A joyous night at the theatre.
A magical portal of self-discovery for the characters and audience members alike.

Quixotic, clever and a little bit magical. Director David Ellenstein brings out the very best in the wonderful ensemble. The dialogue is dynamic and energetic.
- Jenni Prisk, Critic
Sparkles with a wit and an engaging cleverness delivered in perfect timing that carries you through a good story. Engaging, entertaining yet with depth and humanity, this near perfect melding of playwright, director, designers and actors is what brings people to the theater.
- Mark Burgess, San Diego Story
If you are looking for a fast paced, cleverly designed, wonderfully acted, witty and very funny play, this the play for you.

Clever and very funny mystery-fantasy-comedy.
