Intiman Theatre has announced its 2009 Season with three productions that carry forward Intiman’s mission to produce provocative theatre and programs that, according to the theatre, encourage audiences to talk, think, laugh, argue and stay connected.
In the summer, Intiman will present the highly acclaimed Theatre for a New Audience production of Othello, directed by Arin Arbus. Originally produced in New York last February, the sold-out production was brought back in April due to overwhelming demand for tickets and played a limited-engagement remount. It now comes to Seattle with Sean Patrick Thomas as Othello, John Campion as Iago and Elisabeth Waterston as Desdemona. The season will continue in the fall with Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, starring Judith Roberts and directed by Sarna Lapine, and Robert E. Sherwood’s Abe Lincoln in Illinois, which will launch Intiman’s new American Cycle. The production, directed by Sheila Daniels, will feature Erik Lochtefeld in the title role and Mary Jane Gibson as Mary Todd Lincoln. The full cast of 19 includes actors from every generation of the Seattle theatre community.
