Theater Anonymous

The premise is simple.

Nobody knows the cast,

not even the cast.

We've decided to make Theater Anonymous: It's A Wonderful Life a biannual event, so look out for it coming next in December 2025!

It's a Wonderful Life

We introduced Theater Anonymous to Seattle with It’s a Wonderful Life in 2011, and it has grown into a gala annual holiday event.

Theater Anonymous: It's a Wonderful Life is an exciting, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants evening of theater that celebrates Seattle’s amazing theater community.
