Theatrics of the City of Trees: Shakespeare Fest by museberry
The Idaho Shakespeare Festival: A great way to spend an summer evening, features works of Shakespeare and generally one off-beat production per season. This is an outdoor venue, the best seating is on a grassy hill near the stage, so bring blankets to sit on, unless you prefer chairs which are a bit further back but also great. (For budget seating there are spaces along the topmost section of the theater, I've sat there a number of times and the show is just as great from ahigh.)
Picnics are welcomed, or fancy yet pricy foods may be purchased on site at Cafe Shakespeare. I recommend bringing a bottle of wine, some cheese and crackers and have a wine tasting for two during the show. This is a great date night out, or just an evening with the friends.
I used to work behind the scenes with the festival in costuming and props, you'll have a hard time finding a better cast of actors or a more stunning design team, ISF is an asset to the community of Boise and a wonderful time out.
Shows run from June through Sept.
Tickets prices are based on seating type, see website closer to the summer season for current prices.
(Summer Drama Camps for kids are also available)
*Note that while wandering around the area there is a small walkabout behind the theater next the water and a nice stretch of the legs during intermission.*
