Kate Whoriskey News

The Intiman Theatre scores a hit with their third show of the season, Lynn Nottage's "Ruined". But then with a Pulitzer Prize winning play with many of the original cast returning how could you go wrong?

Lynn Nottage's Ruined, a powerful portrayal of the triumph of the human spirit in a war-torn country, will be co-produced this season by Intiman Theatre (opening July 9, 2010) and the Geffen Playhouse (opening September 15, 2010), the only two theatres in the country to host original cast members and the design team of director Kate Whoriskey's acclaimed world-premiere production.

Intiman Theatre announces the schedule of its community and outreach programs for Lynn Nottage's play Ruined, the first production of the theatre's new International Cycle. Directed by Artistic Director Kate Whoriskey, Ruined will be co-produced this year by Intiman (opening July 9, 2010) and the Geffen Playhouse (opening September 15, 2010), the only two theatres in the country to reunite members of the play's original cast and design team from its award-winning, world-premiere production. Tickets for Intiman's production are available from www.intiman.org or 206.269.1900.

Intiman Theatre continues its 2010 Season with The Thin Place, a commissioned world premiere written by Sonya Schneider and conceived and directed by Intiman Associate Producer Andrew Russell.

The Geffen Playhouse's 2010 / 2011 season builds on successful relationships with playwrights who have worked at the Geffen Playhouse in the past - Jane Anderson, Hershey Felder and Neil LaBute, and welcomes the newer voices of Pulitzer Prize winners Tracy Letts and Lynn Nottage. The first season in the newly named Gil Cates Theater, this collection of plays tackles often polarizing issues ranging from faith to war to sex. The season opens with Lynn Nottage's multi-award winning drama Ruined, continues with the crowd pleaser Hershey Felder in Maestro: The Art of Leonard Bernstein, then kicks off the new year with the world premiere of Neil LaBute's The Break of Noon, followed by the world premiere of Jane Anderson's The Escort (a Geffen Playhouse commission), and concludes with the West coast premiere of Tracy Lett's Superior Donuts.

Producers of The Miracle Worker announced today that the show will close on April 4, 2010 at a complete loss of the show's full $2.6 million capitalization.

On the heels of the news that Kate Whoriskey's production of The Miracle Worker would close on Broadway on April 4, 2010, the Intiman Theatre in Seattle announced that the director's promotion to Artistic Director would be accelerated, effective immediately. Whoriskey was serving as Co-artistic Director with Bartlett Sher, and was not set to take on the position exclusively until next season.

Seattle's Intiman Theatre continues it's hit and miss streak with a definite miss with Clifford Odets' depression era epic, "Paradise Lost". But after seeing this production I think it should have been titled "Two and a half hours Lost".
