2006 Front Porch Theater reading of Native Son
|
|
Front Porch Theater is an intimate, informal and county-wide series of opportunities for the public to take part in dramatic readings excerpted from the plays in the Cycle. The series takes place in venues that encourage spontaneous participation, for readers and for anyone who wishes to simply watch and listen. Each reading is followed by a conversation in which all the participants are invited to share their ideas about personal, social and political issues in their lives and our region.

Rough Eagles brings together students from Seattle’s Cleveland and Roosevelt High Schools; the name is a combination of the two school mascots, the Roosevelt Rough Riders and the Cleveland Eagles. Each year, students from the two schools work with INTIMAN teaching artists to write an original play, inspired by the themes of that year’s American Cycle production, which they then perform on the INTIMAN stage and in schools for their peers.
