Professor and alumna Valerie Curtis-Newton (MFA '96) has been appointed co-curator of Intiman Theatre's 2016 season. She will work with producing artistic director Andrew Russell to select a season of plays by black women dramatists. In the Seattle Times article announcing the news, Russell notes that "Having a prominent black theater artist share her theatrical sensibility and perspective by helping mold an entire season is part of Intiman’s dedication to racial and gender equity."
Prof. Curtis-Newton most recently directed Alice Childress's Trouble in Mind for the 2013 Intiman season, and will be directing it at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis this spring.
