Marching onward
Tomorrow is the first day of Spring and my birthday! This month I wanted to share theatrical storytelling at Intiman with you all. As Intiman’s Share the Love campaign continues, we have two more exciting readings and panels coming up. Check out the details below, and I hope to see you at one!
My Name is Rachel Corrie: Play Reading
A Play Reading And Panel Conversation

My Name is Rachel Corrie
Taken from the writings of Rachel Corrie, edited by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner

On March 16, 2003, Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli Army bulldozer in Gaza as she was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home. The play, composed from Rachel’s own writings, shows an activist in the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Join us for a staged reading of My Name is Rachel Corrie followed by a panel conversation discussing the role of art in times of war and our local response to global issues.
Lobby opens at 6:30pm, and the panel will begin at 7:30pm. The lobby bar will be open, including snacks and alcoholic beverages.

Share the Love!
For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Intiman Theatre.
In Seattle, this 50+ years old theatre non-profit drives important and difficult conversations, supporting technical arts education at all levels, and making theatre accessible for all.
I am a board member of Intiman because I believe in supporting theater that uses the power of story and education to activate dialogue, confront inequity, and build collective joy.
Now, more than ever, theater exists to challenge political realities, build empathy, and allow us to imagine a better future.
Imagine with me. Imagine with us.
Your support to Intiman will allow us to continue bringing challenging, visionary, and joyful experiences to our stages in Seattle. If you can give $5, $10, or even $1 dollar, you can help support local theatre. Join in today and share the love!
Please reach out if you have questions and want to learn more.
