Theater Sheila Daniels Joins the Staff at Intiman
posted by November 28 at 15:55 PM
onHer new title is associate director. She will direct A Streetcar Named Desire there in 2008.
Sheila’s a skilled, well-loved director, who has done some shows we loved: Waiting for Lefty at CHAC, The Last State (Sarah Rudinoff at On the Boards), Crime and Punishment at CHAC (she was the best thing that ever happened to CHAC), and Bridge of San Luis Rey with Strawberry Theater Workshop (which helped both STW and actor Amy Thone on their way to last year’s Genius Awards).
Congratulations, Sheila.
(And congratulations, Intiman. Sheila was bound to ascend—getting her first was a smart move. Plus, with Bart spending so much time chasing his directorial career out east—Broadway, the Met, the Goodman, etc.—it’s a neat gesture towards hometown credibility.)
But that doesn’t detract from Sheila’s achievement. Mostly, it’s good news for her and for the rest of us.

Well, I'd have to say "competent" is an understatement. Over the past six or seven years Sheila has directed some of the most interesting, thought-provoking fringe theatre productions in Seattle.
Congrats, Sheila. And yes - it's encouraging to see one of the major theatre institutions recognize that not only do we have great actors in this town, but potentially great directors as well.
You're right, Comte. Let's make that "skilled."
