New Artistic Director For Intiman Theatre

Seattle's Intiman Theatre is beginning to see some big artistic changes. They have named Kate Whoriskey as the theater's new artistic director, succeeding Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher, who will become the resident director of New York's Lincoln Center Theatre. As for Whoriskey, she's moving to town from New York, where she recently directed the Pulitzer Prize-winning Ruined. Whoriskey will take over the role entirely in 2011; until then, the two artistic directors will be working together on programming for the duration of the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
