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.

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. |

Mr. Shenk’s talk, this season’s Writers & Artists lecture, will include questions from the audience and will follow the 2 pm matinee performance of the play on Sunday, November 15.
This event is free and open to the general public. Seating will be general admission, with priority given to patrons attending the matinee performance.

ROUGH EAGLES
Monday, October 26 at 7pm
FREE ADMISSION!
Followed by a post-play reception with the students
An original, world premiere play, inspired by our American Cycle production of Abe Lincoln in Illinois and developed and written by students from Cleveland and Roosevelt High Schools, To Speak of a Dream dives into our nation's history and the unique experiences of these seven young adults and reveals what they believe makes a hero.
Rough Eagles, one of our American Cycle programs, brings together diverse teens from Cleveland and Roosevelt High Schools (the name is a combination of the two school mascots, the Roosevelt Rough Riders and the Cleveland Eagles) and uses the collaborative process of making theatre as a way to explore big ideas and discover what unites the students, rather than what separates them.
FEATURING
Rahel Barnes, Tristan Campbell, Taylor Christensen, Chantel Goodwin, Wesley Nead, Vincent Nguyen and Ariel Torrey |
