This is out of left field:

Intiman Theatre Board President Kim Anderson announces that Melaine Bennett, Intiman’s Director of Development, has been appointed the theatre’s Acting Managing Director, succeeding Brian Colburn. The Board of Directors accepted Colburn’s resignation for personal reasons, effective November 1, 2010.

The odd shake-up comes on the heels of two productions–Lynn Nottage’s Ruined and a new adaptation of Molière’s A Doctor in Spite of Himself by Christopher Bayes and Steven Epp–that both “exceeded their attendance and single-ticket goals,” according to the theatre.
