Join us for an evening unlike any other – the show where artist and audience alike celebrate their

Singer/Songwriter Allie LaRoe transmutes magic into music while transporting us to realms of
fantasy and inspiration. 

Giggle and thrill to the latest installment of playwright Anthea Carns’(Annex Theatre’s The Devil and Sarah Blackwater) Adventures of the Solar Union Exploration Corp. 

Our industry guest is our favorite Stranger cartoonist and author of Disillusioned Illusions, Greg Stump. 

Had enough of masks? You may experience a change of heart when the Incubator Ensemble featuring the talents of Sarah Bixler, Dylan Smith, and Leslie Duran Graves reveal their poignant and timely masked work. 

We’ll screen the latest episode of The Panel Jumper web series, “Hail to the Jungle Queen”, in which Cole Hornaday
and Darian Lindle guide us through the undergrowth on the trail of women in leopard skins and
what their stories tell us about life the urban jungle. 

Finally, we’ll invite comedian and creepy-doll-loving raconteur Allison Lizotte (Weird and Awesome with Emmett Montgomery and Radio
Larp) to do some thrift store picking so she might channel the tales of some terrific and terrible toys.

Please mark your calendars and join hosts Ben Laurance and Cole Hornaday for The Panel
Jumper **LIVE-STREAMING** and celebrate nerd culture in all its myriad forms! Produced in
collaboration with West of Lenin, this rare revelry of Seattle-based talent will leave you giddy and
