Having played opposite the legendary Eartha Kitt in the musical "Mimi Le Duck" Off-Broadway this past autumn, Allen returned to Seattle to appear as 'Robert' in "Proof" at the Tacoma Actors Guild, which opened Feb. 15 for a limited run. While rehearsing that play, Allen was doing double-duty as director of "The Exonerated," opening March 9 at the historic Everett Theatre. On April 5th, he begins performances as 'Charles' in Sarah Ruhl's "The Clean House" at Seattle's ACT Theatre, and on May 26, he'll open in "West Side Story" at the 5th Avenue Theatre (where he starred as 'Sweeney Todd' in 2005). Allen spends his offstage time creating the Icicle Creek Theatre Festival, of which he is the artistic director; the Festival, to have its inaugural season this coming August, is currently accepting submissions of new plays. All are encouraged to investigate our website: www.iciclecreekact.com.
Yours, Allen Fitzpatrick
