SEATTLE— Intiman Theatre announces that its annual production of Black Nativity, a holiday tradition for the past 12 seasons, will be co-presented in 2010 with Seattle Theatre Group at The Moore Theatre, which will become the gospel musical’s new home.
Intiman determined last season that Black Nativity had outgrown its performance space and would require a venue with greater capacity for audiences and additional production values moving forward. “We are thrilled to be entering into this collaborative partnership with STG,” says Managing Director Brian Colburn. “As producers and colleagues, we can utilize the best resources of both organizations while maintaining the commitment to family-friendly pricing and community outreach that has characterized the spirit of the production at Intiman. This will create tremendous benefits for the show—and for the many people in Seattle and throughout King County who will be able to experience the production closer to Christmas.”
“It’s been a long-time dream for STG to present a holiday engagement at The Moore Theatre,” says Josh LaBelle, STG Executive Director. “Our new partnership withIntiman Theatre and their annual production, Black Nativity, allows for more people than ever to experience this beloved community tradition in Seattle ’s longest operating historic theatre.”
Performances will run December 10-26, with a preview performance on December 9. Group tickets are available from Kathleen Maki at 206.204.3325 or atgroups@intiman.org. STG subscriptions are available from www.STGpresents.org. Tickets for the general public will range in price from $25-55 for adults and $15 for youth age 18 and under. The on-sale date for single tickets and more information about the production will be announced soon.
