Venue: Intiman Theatre
Town: Washington, US

Intiman Theatre is a resident theater company in Seattle, Washington, founded in 1972 by Margaret "Megs" Booker, who named it after Strindberg's Intimate Theater in Stockholm. It has been based at various venues in Seattle, and became theater-in-residence at Seattle Central College in 2021, performing in two of the campus's venues. With a self-declared focus on "a resident acting ensemble, fidelity to the playwright's intentions and a close relationship between actor and audience", the Intiman soon called itself as "Seattle's classic theater". Its debut season in 1972 included Rosmersholm, The Creditors, The Underpants, and Brecht on Brecht. The theater has been host to Tony-nominated Director Bartlett Sher (who served as both a director and artistic director), Tony-nominated actress Celia Keenan-Bolger and film actor Tom Skerritt. It was also home to the world premieres of the Tony-winning Broadway musical The Light in the Piazza, Craig Lucas's Singing Forest and Dan Savage's Miracle!. Lucas also served as the Associate Artistic Director. Intiman won the 2006 Regional Theatre Tony Award. Intiman launched its first summer theatre festival in July and August 2012 under the leadership of Artistic Director Andrew Russell and Managing Director Keri Kellerman. The festival featured four plays and a repertory company of 17 actors. The Intiman Theatre Playhouse was renamed the Cornish Playhouse in 2013 and is managed by the Cornish College of the Arts. In 2017, Phillip Chavira became Intiman's first executive director and departed in 2019. Wesley Frugé serves as Managing Director since early 2022. At the end of 2017, Andrew Russell completed his tenure as Producing Artistic Director, and Jennifer Zeyl became Intiman's seventh artistic director. Intiman's original location was a 65-seat theater in Kirkland, Washington. Under the leadership of artistic directors Megs and John Booker, the Intiman officially incorporated as a non-profit theatre in 1973. Over the next few years
