The American Cycle combines productions of classic American stories and opportunities for complex and generous civic dialogue. Its goals are to produce great art, cultivate curiosity, advocate for literacy, encourage an informed citizenry and understand interconnectedness.
Past productions are Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird (2007), adapted by Christopher Sergel and directed by Fracaswell Hyman, which became the best-selling production in INTIMAN’s history; Kent Gash’s searing world-premiere adaptation of Richard Wright’s Native Son (2006); Linda Hartzell’s iridescent staging of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, adapted by Frank Galati (2005); and Bartlett Sher’s production of Thornton Wilder’s timeless classic Our Town (2004). Every single production has sold out performances. In connection with the production, INTIMAN offers free programs that take place at the Theatre and at public venues ranging from neighborhood gathering spots, such as cafés and bookstores, to public institutions including libraries and museums. Each year INTIMAN works with Community Committees of civic leaders whose guidance helps ensure that the programs have a positive impact on the quality of life in our region.
