Daniel Breaker to Host Intiman's Valentine's Cabaret, 2/14

Intiman Theatre announces a one-night-only special event, the "Valentine's Day Cabaret," on Monday, February 14th at 7:30 pm. The concert will be hosted by Daniel Breaker (A Doctor In Spite Of Himself and Broadway's Shrek and Passing Strange), and newest addition to Intiman's 2011 season, A Boy and His Soul writer/performer Colman Domingo. Designed as a donor appreciation event, Intiman will also make a limited number of seats available for purchase to the general public.

Artistic Director Kate Whoriskey says, "After the success of the summer cabaret at the closing celebration of Ruined, we decided to invite artists and friends to help us launch the start of a new season. It's going to be a musically vibrant evening."  Among the bevy of artists performing are Ruined's songbird Condola Rashad, Seattle's jazz treasure Jose Gonzales (The Scarlet Letter and A Streetcar Named Desire), local vocalist and actor Nick Garrison (Loot),  funny man Don Darryl Rivera (A Doctor in Spite of Himself) and more. The accompanying band will feature Dwight Beckmeyer, Dave Pascal and Robertson Witmer (A Doctor in Spite of Himself).

Daniel Breaker will lead this exciting evening of jazz, R&B, standards and more including the songs of Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, The Beatles, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr.  Breaker recently starred in Intiman's production of A Doctor in Spite of Himself, hosted the summer cabaret concert and is returning to Intiman this summer in J.M. Synge's The Playboy of the Western World, directed by Kate Whoriskey. Co-hosting the event is Breaker's former colleague from Broadway's Passing Strange, Colman Domingo. Audiences can look forward to hearing more of his musical talents later this fall in A Boy and His Soul, now slated as the fifth show in Intiman's 2011 season. A Boy and His Soul, both written by and starring Domingo, won the GLAAD Media Award for Best Theater Broadway/Off Broadway and The Lucille Lortell Award for Best Solo Show.

Cabaret tickets are now available at www.intiman.org or by calling 206.269.1900, and are $50 for reserved seating. Donors at a certain level are invited as guests of the theatre.
