 Long-running community theater |
100 East Fort Street Boise, ID 83712 United States +1 208 342 5104 http://www.boiselittletheater.... |
This community theater, celebrating more than 59 years in Boise, resembles a dome-shaped hat sitting on top of a plain, almost dumpy, body of a building, but there is nothing plain about the acting. One of the longest-running community theaters in the nation, this theater provides Boise audiences with live entertainment from one-act plays to melodramas. Past season highlights have included "Noises Off" and "Exit the Body". Review © 2007, Wcities |

Home to Three Acting Companies |
854 Fulton St Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 331 9224 http://www.bctheater.org |
Rising from an old warehouse, this Boise theater is home to three acting companies. The 25,000 square-foot facility seats about 230 people in a simple, brick wall-lined space. However, theatergoers will find plenty of color in the lobby decorations and, of course, on stage. Boise Contemporary Theater and Balance Dance Company call it home, while the Idaho Shakespeare Festival offers classes and houses its administrative offices here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Shakespeare under the stars |
5657 Warm Springs Avenue Boise, ID 83712 United States +1 208 336 9221 / +1 208 429 9908 http://www.idahoshakespeare.org info@idahoshakespeare.org |
Bringing Shakespeare to Idaho audiences since 1977, this thespian festival takes place every summer from June through September at an outdoor amphitheater. Located along the Boise River, the amphitheater allows the audience to enjoy spectacular Idaho scenery while appreciating the nuances of Shakespearean theater. This community theater is much more than a summer-only affair, offering educational programs and other performances throughout the year. Group prices and season subscriptions are available.

Delicious dinners and live entertainment |
333 South Ninth Street Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 385 0021 http://www.kedproductions.com/ mboardman@kedproductions.org |
The plays presented by this professional troupe of actors changes every season. However, customers are always guaranteed a great time. The dinner portion of the entertainment is completely catered and always delicious. The 160-seat theater, located near Eighth Street Marketplace, is ample yet intimate. Plays have included "One Special Gift" and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". Review © 2007, Wcities |

Rich sound and great view |
2201 Campus Lane Boise, ID 83725 United States +1 208 426 1609 http://mc.boisestate.edu |
Adjacent to the banks of the Boise River and located on the Boise State University campus, this entertainment center is one of Idaho's top civic theaters. The 2,000-seat Main Hall, which has a 732-seat mezzanine level, features symphonies, ballets and choirs, as well as musical performers from Lyle Lovett to Weird Al Yankovic. The ceiling's impressive acoustical drapery provides incredible sound. For added intimacy, no seat is more than 131 feet from the stage. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Convenience store hosts theater company |
2350 Vista Avenue Boise, ID 83705 United States +1 208 368 0405 |
A converted convenience store is the home of this alternative theater company. A refurbished car wash is the set construction and rehearsal center. Although the surroundings are original, this small company finally has a permanent space after using four different venues over the years. Having produced about 13 plays since its inception in 1996, the company offers seating for about 67 people. Productions have included Comfort and Joy and Sweet Illusion. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dare to do it live! |
5296 Overland Road (Hillcrest Shopping Center) Boise, ID 83705 United States +1 208 342 2000 http://www.stagecoachtheatre.c... |
When a theater company uses a motto like, "Dare to do it live!" you know you are in for something original or possibly risque. Don't worry though, the talented troupe of actors are fully clothed while performing some of the best contemporary American theater. Operating out of the Hillcrest Shopping Mall, this community theater has performed plays by such well-known playwrights as Neil Simon. Performances have also included "Love, Sex and the I.R.S." by William Van Zandt and Jane Milmore and "Cobb" by Lee Blessing. Review © 2007, Wcities |
