FRONT PORCH THEATER
front Porch Theater brings the stories on our stage to life in neighborhood gathering spots (including coffee shops and libraries) and unexpected venues that encourage spontaneous participation. Family, friends and neighbors come together to read an excerpt from the American Cycle play aloud, followed by moderated conversation about the issues and ideas it inspires. All are welcome; those who don’t wish to read are encouraged to attend as audience and participate in the discussion. This fall, Intiman will join with community partners to co-host a Front Porch series for Abe Lincoln in Illinois, with readers taking on iconic roles from the play. For more information about the schedule or to participate please write us at frontporch@intiman.org.

NOMINATE A HERO
At a critical moment in his own life and in the history of our country, Lincoln chose to embrace hope and fight for all people—and changed the course of the nation. Today we too face extreme challenges and choices. As part of our American Cycle conversation about what it means to be hero, you are invited to help us honor brave individuals in King County who dedicate their time, quietly and under the radar, to bettering our world.
It’s easy: write 500 words or less about your hero and why they should be honored. Submit your nominee to hero@intiman.org by Sept. 22. Candidates will be considered by a panel of community leaders who have dedicated their time to working for positive change. The chosen heroes will be honored on opening night and throughout the run of Abe Lincoln in Illinois. |

LINCOLN-DOUGLAS DEBATE
A Special Event in the Great Hall at Town Hall
Tuesday, September 22, 7:30-9 pm
Tickets are $5 at www.brownpapertickets.com or 800.838.3006, and at the door beginning at 6:30 pm. Intiman subscriber and Town Hall members receive priority seating.
Relive the heated Lincoln-Douglas Debates of the 1858 Illinois senatorial campaign. Lincoln, the Republican challenger, was a little-known upstart taking on a political giant, Stephen Douglas. Actors Erik Lochtefeld and R. Hamilton Wright—who will play Lincoln and Douglas in Intiman’s production of Abe Lincoln in Illinois—will recreate this seminal moment in political history. The 45-minute reading will be followed by a discussion with the audience. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and Intiman Theatre. |

ROUGH EAGLES
Intiman Theatre
Monday, October 26 at 7 pm
Each season, diverse teens from Cleveland and Roosevelt High Schools audition to be part of one of the most popular American Cycle programs, Rough Eagles. (The name combines the two school mascots, the Roosevelt Rough Riders and the Cleveland Eagles.) This year, eight students from the two schools will work with Seattle artist Marya Sea Kaminski on an original play inspired by Abe Lincoln in Illinois. During an annual summer retreat, the Rough Eagles begin to explore big ideas—and create bridges between their disparate experiences—through movement and writing exercises, and by attending live performances (some for the first time) at different companies around the city. In the fall, they will develop, write and rehearse their own play, which they will perform at Intiman and in their schools, for their peers. Intiman will present the Rough Eagles performance on the set of Abe Lincoln in Illinois on Monday, October 26 at 7 pm. Free and open to the public, the performance will be followed by a discussion and reception with the students. |
