Governor Butch Otter
Dear Friends,
The First Lady and I are delighted to welcome
you to the Idaho Shakespeare Festival! The
Festival is one of Idaho’s proudest cultural
achievements and has been engaging
patrons from near and far with its popular
summer series for the last 40 years.
On the Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s 40th
anniversary, we join the world in honoring
the eternal works of William Shakespeare on
the 400th anniversary of his death. The fact
that we continue to celebrate and cherish
these works after four centuries is a measure
of his keen insight into the human condition
and a quantifiable testament to his genius.
Language and literature connect us through
time with past civilizations and allow us to
identify the inspirations that carry into the
future. We invite you to see and experience
Mayor Dave Beiter
There are few experiences in Boise as
refreshing and engaging as sitting down on a
summer evening to a night of theater at the
Idaho Shakespeare Festival.
Following a gourmet meal from Café
Shakespeare—perhaps accompanied by a
pleasant beverage—the sun begins to recede
and the lights go up on another performance.
Those few moments before the actors enter
the stage are always the most exciting,
because they carry the most promise. What,
exactly, will we see tonight?
Inevitably, whether it’s a history play from
the bard or an inventive modern comedy,
the show impresses — the result of Idaho
Shakespeare’s uncanny talent for bringing
outstanding acting and uncommon stagecraft
into the service of exceptional writing.
And with that accomplishment comes
countless positive, and often intangible,
benefits. Theater at its best enriches both
the individual and the community at large,

this continuum, not only here at the Festival
this summer, but also through the national
tour of Shakespeare’s First Folio, which
will be traveling from the Folger Library
in Washington, D.C. to the Yanke Family
Research Park at Boise State University
August 20th through September 21st.
As we turn the page on the fourth century of
an endless legacy, Miss Lori and I are honored
to recognize each of you as part of the
ongoing stewardship of Shakespeare, and to
celebrate your place in both its present and
future for many more decades to come.
Again, welcome and please enjoy the show.

illuminating difficult subjects and inspiring
new hope and renewed energy among
audience members and performers alike.
Theater by its nature is artifice, but, when
done well, it brings real meaning to our lives.
When the final act is complete, the chairs
have been folded, and the cars queue up
to make that left turn back onto Warm
Springs Avenue, a sense of magic remains
in the air—a sense that something special
happened tonight, right here in our
hometown. As Mayor, I can’t imagine a better
calling card for Boise than that.
As Idaho Shakespeare Festival
commemorates its 40th season, it’s time for
all Boise residents to celebrate and show
their appreciation for this jewel of our arts
community. Boise has many wonderful arts
organizations, but none has played a greater
role than Idaho Shakespeare in making Boise
the most livable city in the country.

Shakespeare one night, breathing life into
the lyrics of an award-winning musical the
following evening, and exploring the dark
impulses of a classical murder mystery the
next; and it takes an unusually generous
community to embrace, support, and
celebrate the work of this company of
four decades. Fortunately, the Festival
has both—a great company of artists,
administrators, trustees and a great
community of arts patrons! Whether you’re
here for the first time or you’ve been with us
since 1977, this Anniversary season is yours
as much as ours.
Dear Friends,
On behalf of our artists, staff, and
board of trustees, welcome to the 40th
Anniversary season of Idaho Shakespeare
Festival—one of the signature cultural
events of the intermountain west. Since our
founding in 1977, the Festival has had the
great fortune of growing steadily with our
community. From our humble roots at One
Capital Center and a first season audience
of 3,500 patrons attending a total of 8
performances, the Festival has grown to over
60,000 patrons attending 93 performances
annually. Along with the tremendous
success of our summer “Shakespeare Under
the Stars” performances, our educational
programming now brings live theater to
50,000 students each year from grades K-12
in nearly every county of the state.
But the truth is, we still feel like a
bootstrapping start-up, with all the
excitement of a great future ahead of us. I
guess life really does begin at 40!
It takes an extraordinarily talented,
skillful, and courageous group of artists,
staff members and trustees to build a
company capable of tackling the words of
To open our season, we return to the most
famous crime writer of all time, Dame
Agatha Christie, and the play she based
on her most popular murder mystery, And
Then There Were None. We are thrilled to
be working on our second Christie play
(following the success of The Mousetrap
in 2012) and excited to be staging the
newly commissioned ending of the play,
which re-stores the final, dark moments
of her novel, thanks to the generosity of
her grandson, Mathew Prichard. Playing
in rep with And Then There Were None
is the first of our Shakespeare plays for
the season, Love’s Labor’s Lost. Director
Tyne Rafaeli makes her Festival debut
with a brilliantly conceived production of
Shakespeare’s deeply romantic comedy,
not seen on our stage since 2006—our 30th
Anniversary.
Opening July 2nd is My Fair Lady, one of the
true classics of the American Musical Theater,
with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, music
by Frederick Loewe, and based on the play
Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. Victoria
Bussert (director of Cabaret, Sweeney Todd,
Les Mis and Secret Garden, to name a few of
her past productions) will once again bring
her exquisite skill in realizing large scale
productions with an intimacy and attention
to story that has thrilled audiences over the
past several seasons. Playing in rep with My
Fair Lady is the second Shakespeare offering
of the summer, Twelfth Night. Director Drew
Barr returns for his “twelfth” season with the
Festival to direct what is surely one of the
most perfect romantic comedies ever written.
In September, we continue our latest
tradition of sharing productions with our
company in Lake Tahoe, Nevada—Lake
Tahoe Shakespeare Festival—with a
perennial favorite, Forever Plaid directed by
Victoria Bussert and choreographed by Greg
Daniels. Our September show has become
its own special event, with an earlier curtain
time, cooler evenings, and a focus on more
contemporary works—and wait ’til you see
the company we have put together for this
all new production of “Plaid.”
We hope you are as excited to see this 40th
Anniversary season as we are to be creating
such an extraordinary breadth of experiences.
As always, we want to thank our partners
and great friends in the corporate,
foundation, and public funding
communities, led by our unwavering
season sponsor, KeyBank! We could not
produce our work without the tireless
efforts of our talented administrative staff,
dedicated board of trustees, extraordinary
artists and the tremendous generosity of
this community! As you look around the
theater and page through this program,
you will see the names of many friends
whose support makes all of this possible.
We extend our deepest gratitude to
each and every one of them and look
forward to the next 40 years of continued
collaboration and creativity.
From all of us at the Festival, happy
anniversary!
Sincerely,
Charlie

Director’s Note
As I began research on this season’s
production of And Then There Were None,
I began with a close reading of Agatha
Christie’s 1939 novel as background for the
play that she wrote based on her original work.
As always, the novelist must give over to the
playwright the right to adapt, alter, and
re-structure the narrative form of the story for
the dramatic necessities of the theater. Most
interesting was the decision Ms. Christie
made—with encouragement from her
producers—to change the ending of the play.
The producers felt the original ending was too
“dark” for a London audience in the midst of
World War II and asked for a more hopeful
ending focused on the romantic relationship
between the characters of Vera Claythorne and
Philip Lombard. Ms. Christie ultimately agreed
and the played opened in 1943 to great
acclaim. Further research turned up two recent
productions in Britain which featured newly
written endings to the play which purported to
“re-store” the original ending of the story;
however, there was no way to get the “rights”
or even a copy of these altered endings – both
were written with the express permission of
the Christie estate but without the ability to
license the endings to other companies.
Then, as luck would have it, the grandson of
Ms. Christie, Mathew Prichard, commissioned
an alternate ending which presents the original
events from the novel and granted the use of
either to future producers. To add a bit of
mystery, this “new” ending, now called the
1939 Ending, is given no authorial credit,
leaving us to muse over the question of who
wrote it? We have chosen the 1939 Ending
for our production as it seems to reflect
Ms. Christie’s original intention.
Charles Fee
DIRECTOR
A note from Agatha Christie’s
grandson on the topic…
My grandmother’s play has been performed
successfully all over the world since its
première in 1943 with an ending that is
unique to the play and is not that of the novel
on which it is based. There is much evidence
that this was not her initial intention but was
instead the result of what was perceived to
be the needs of audiences at a very dark time
in history. My grandmother never shied from
taking notice of others’ input and the success
then and since of the play vindicates her
approach and their views.
In recent years enterprising producers
presenting to, perhaps, more inquiring
audiences have experimented with
incorporating the novel’s ending in the play.
This, too, has been well received leading
to a controversy as to which is the “real”
ending. I have no intention of settling
this controversy. Instead, on the 125th
anniversary of my grandmother’s birth, I
wish to make the choice available to all
producers and directors to express their
view as to the writer’s intention by enabling
them to choose from the 1943 (play) ending
and the 1939 (novel) ending.
Drawing on papers and correspondence
at the time of production and on archive
material, I have commissioned a dramatic
version of the novel’s close. Both dramatic
endings begin their unraveling with
Lombard’s line to Vera: “You – young,
lovely, and quite, quite mad”. After that,
readers, producers and directors face the
same choice that my grandmother faced.

On behalf of
Albertsons, I
would like to
welcome you

Shakespeare
Festival. Given
our rich histories
together in the
Treasure Valley,
it is truly an honor to support such a
prestigious event.
Albertsons is proud to call Idaho our home
and we are committed to giving back to
the community that has supported us
for so many years. Albertsons’ operating
philosophy today is the same commitment
that Joe Albertson made all those years ago
to his Boise customers: offer customers the
products they want, at a fair price, with lots
of tender loving care. To us, it’s more than
a way of doing business; it’s at the heart
of every decision we make. Mr. Albertson
instilled a strong sense of giving back in
our culture, and over 75 years later, it’s still
a huge part of what we do every year.
We invite you to experience everything that
Albertsons has to offer at your “favorite
local supermarket.” From our famous
fried chicken, amazing salads and fresh
sandwiches in our service deli to our
signature chocolate chip cookies and sweet
treats in our bakery, topped off with our
local beer and wine selection; we have
everything you need to put together the
perfect picnic basket to make your evening
of theater even more special.
Director’s Note
Synopsis
“In Love’s Labor’s Lost we seem almost to
stand again by the cradle of a new-born
comedy, and hear the first lisping and
laughing accents run over from her baby
lips in bubbling rhyme; but when the note
changes we recognise the speech of the
Gods. For the first time in our literature the
higher key of poetic or romantic comedy is
finely touched to a fine issue.”
—ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE, 1880
King Ferdinand of Navarre and his lords
Berowne, Longaville and Dumaine have sworn
an oath to live and study together for three
years. In the interest of scholarly pursuits, the
men vow to fast, to sleep only three hours a
night and, most importantly, to abstain from
the company of women. Berowne questions
the severity of the oath but signs the contract
despite his reservations. Constable Dull, the
local officer, arrives with his prisoner Costard.
Costard has been apprehended for consorting
with the country maid Jaquenetta, thereby
breaking the new law against socializing with
women. King Ferdinand orders that Costard
be put in the custody of Don Adriano de
Armado, a verbose Spaniard.
Neglected for nearly 300 years, Love’s
Labor’s Lost was rediscovered at the end
of the Nineteenth Century, and reclaimed
as “one of the very best productions of the
great dramatist.”
I am thrilled to be re-imagining this play for
our own 21st Century moment—a moment
in which we are being forced to re-think
our national value system and concepts
of leadership, amidst a social landscape
in which image, fame and persona are the
highest currency.
Love’s Labor’s Lost offers a seductive
glimpse into a Renaissance golden world
of privileged people – young, attractive,
sophisticated and wealthy. They hunt after
a legacy, questing for a form of immortality
through fame. They ask the ultimate
question: will I be remembered?
What they discover is the danger of
underestimating the force of their own hearts
and the folly of believing that cold reason
alone will force open the doors of life’s
great mysteries.
Love’s Labor’s Lost contains both the
longest speech and the longest single word
in the Shakespearean canon. The play is a
polyphonic explosion—a feast of style and
language. Each character is a virtuoso player
of their particular instrument. The world of
the play is a kind of cloud-cuckoo-land, an
ivory tower, a fortress of fantasy ripe for
transformation. And as ever, beneath the
ornament and artifice lies a deep well of
emotion, offering an original spin on the
timeless notion that only the heart gives
access to true wisdom.

As Don Armado confesses to his servant Moth
that he is in love with Jaquenetta, Constable
Dull arrives with Costard and Jaquenetta. He
delivers Costard to Armado’s custody and
leaves to take Jaquenetta to the park where
she will be employed as a dairymaid. Before
Jaquenetta is led out, Armado makes plans
to meet her at her lodge. Moth takes Costard
away to prison.
The Princess of France arrives with her ladies,
Rosaline, Katherine and Maria. King Ferdinand
greets them but will not allow them inside
his court. The Princess tells the King that she
has come on behalf of her father to collect
the repayment of a loan. The King denies
receiving the money, and the Princess calls
for her servant Boyet to retrieve the receipt.
Boyet informs the Princess that they will not
be able to get the receipt until the next day.
In the meantime, King Ferdinand assures
them they will be well treated. Berowne and
Rosaline share a few words, while Longaville
and Dumaine show interest in Maria and
Katherine. After the King and his lords leave,
Boyet remarks on how the King seemed to be
taken with the Princess.
Don Armado frees Costard from prison
in exchange for delivering a love letter to
Jaquenetta. As Costard is about to leave he
runs into Berowne who asks him to deliver a
letter to Rosaline. Costard leaves to deliver
the letters, and Berowne confesses his love
for Rosaline. Costard finds the Princess and
her ladies hunting and mistakenly gives the
letter from Armado to the ladies.
The pretentious schoolmaster Holofernes, the
church cleric Nathaniel and Constable Dull are
discussing the deer shot by the Princess when
Costard and Jaquenetta arrive. Jaquenetta
asks Holofernes to read the letter sent by Don
Armado. As Holofernes reads, he discovers it
is the letter from Berowne meant for Rosaline.
Berowne is composing another sonnet to
Rosaline when he sees the King and decides
to eavesdrop on him. The King is reading a
letter that he has composed to the Princess
when he overhears Longaville entering. The
King hides as Longaville professes his love for
Maria; Longaville, in turn, hides and overhears
Dumaine profess his love for Katherine.
One by one, the men come forward to scold
those they have overheard. Berowne is the
last to step out and rebuke the men for their
betrayal. As he is admonishing them, Costard
enters with the letter. Berowne’s own love
is found out, and he admits his guilt to the
others. Berowne then convinces the men
that they must give up their oaths in order
to truly find themselves, and the lords set off
to woo the ladies with dances, masques and
entertainment. The King orders Armado to
provide entertainment. Armado consults with
Holofernes who suggests a pageant of the
Nine Worthies.
The ladies are showing each other the
presents sent to them by the lords when
Boyet enters to tell them that the King and
his men are coming disguised as Russians
to court the ladies. The Princess decides to
foil their plan by having each lady wear a
mask and exchange the gifts sent to them.
Each lady will wear another’s gift so that
the King and his lords will mistake their love
for another. The men arrive and entertain
and then one by one they break off to woo
their respective loves. Once the men leave,
the women discuss what the men said and
determine to ridicule them for their mistakes
when they return. The King and his men
return and are mocked by the ladies. Costard
enters and introduces the pageant of the
Nine Worthies. The pageant is interrupted
by Costard’s announcement that Jaquenetta
is pregnant by Armado. Armado challenges
Costard to a duel but is interrupted by the
messenger, Mercade, bringing news of the
King of France’s death. The Princess must
leave that same night. The King tries to
continue wooing and proposes marriage. The
Princess responds that if the King will spend
a full year in a remote hermitage, away from
worldly pleasures, she will have him. Each
woman in turn gives similar ultimatums, to
which the men agree. The performers return
to sing a final song after which everyone goes
their separate ways.

As a newcomer to
Idaho, I’m thrilled to
experience the Idaho
Shakespeare Festival
for the first time. I
certainly know it by
reputation: When
I was considering
moving to beautiful
Boise, so many
people told me about the world-class
amphitheater and the high-quality theater
artists who put on an amazing lineup of
entertainment each summer. It’s wonderful
to live in a place that cherishes the arts, and
I’m proud that the Idaho Statesman has been
a longtime supporter of the Festival.
Our sponsorship of the Idaho Shakespeare
Festival is just one way the Idaho Statesman
gives back to the Treasure Valley. Each year,
we support community events and nonprofit
organizations through sponsorships,
volunteerism and charitable contributions.
This year, we launched Together Treasure
Valley—a new initiative with 21 other local
companies that will fund projects to make
the Treasure Valley an even better place to
live and work. (Please join the conversation
at TogetherTreasureValley.com!)
Every day I’m in Boise, I am thankful to
work at an organization that values giving
back to its community. And I’m grateful for
the readers who support our journalism,
especially our coverage of the arts in Scene
and Treasure magazines. Almost 400,000
Treasure Valley adults turn to us in print and
online, making us by far the leading source
for local news and information. It would
take 10 Broncos Stadiums to hold them all.
Impressive!
We proudly salute the Idaho Shakespeare
Festival on its 40th season. Bravo!

“A legendary evening.” “Broadway will
never be the same.” “One of the best
musicals of the century.” “Don’t bother to
finish reading this review now. You’d better
get your tickets.” It sounds like these critics
might be praising the current Broadway
blockbuster, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s
extraordinary, Hamilton; but in 1956,
this praise was lavished on My Fair Lady,
the musical that broke all box office records
of that time. Alan Jay Lerner, who adapted
the George Bernard Shaw play, Pygmalion,
and wrote the lyrics was convinced that
“the right people at the right moment in
their lives embarked on the right venture—
and rather than extending their talents to
the limit, expressed them to the limit.” The
story of how this all happened is almost
more exciting than the finished product.
Originally, the rights for a musical version
of Shaw’s play were offered to Cole
Porter, Dietz and Schwartz, and Rogers
and Hammerstein, all of whom declined.
Richard Rogers noted that the drawing
room ambience of Pygmalion and the texts
deliberate non-romaticism were drawbacks
to a musical form. Alan Jay Lerner and
Fredrick Loewe enthusiastically took up
the challenge, but their initial excitement
soon gave way to frustration. No matter
how hard they tried, they “did not seem
to be able to tear down the walls of the
drawing room and allow the play to unfold
in a setting and atmosphere that suggested
music.” They struggled with trying to find
a way to have a “singing ensemble”—a
requirement for any musical at the time. They
went as far as setting the piece at Oxford
with Henry Higgins as a professor and the
undergraduates providing the chorus—an
idea that inspired a two-year departure from
their work. During the hiatus an interesting
shift occurred—the “rules” of musical
theater were being re-written. Realism had
begun to toughen up American musicals and
emotional reality (already celebrated in the
works of Kurt Weill) was the new trend. When
they returned to work, Lerner and Loewe
discovered that their adaptation did not
require new characters or a change of local—
they embraced the play and the screenplay
of the film, finding musical inspiration by
fleshing out business that occurs between
the acts such as the time between Higgins
exit from Covent Garden and Eliza’s arrival at
Winpole Street—hence, “A Little Bit o’ Luck”.
The casting was a drama in itself. There
was no doubt in Lerner’s mind that the
most interesting and complex character
in Pygmalion was Henry Higgins whom he
believed to be a projection of Shaw in his
articulateness, intellectual ardor, and wittily
concealed loneliness. According to Stanley
Holloway, the original Alfred P. Doolittle,
Noël Coward was the top choice followed
by Michael Redgrave, George Sanders and
Sir John Gielgud. It was Coward himself
who recommended Rex Harrison whom
he described as, next to him, “the finest
light comedy actor in the world.” Although
Harrison had never appeared in an musical,
Kurt Weill had proposed writing a new
version of The Threepenny Opera starring
the 1949 Tony Award-winning actor. Lerner,
a friend of Weill’s, was startled by this news
and asked the composer, “Does he sing?”
Weill replied, “Enough.”—a remark that
stuck with Lerner.
In the meantime, Mary Martin’s husband,
Richard Halliday, had caught scent of
the project and pushed for his wife to be
considered as Eliza. Although she seemed
a rather strange choice for the role, Lerner
and Loewe thought they had nothing to
lose and agreed to share some of their

We live in a great
state. We have
easy access to a
dozen mountains,
the Snake River,
20 million acres
of forest. We’re
small-butgrowing, toughyet-welcoming,
known for potatoes but remembered
for so much more. We’re blessed with
premier festivals and films, museums
and music, poets and writers, and prime
organizations fighting for arts and
education across our state.
At Truckstop.com, our aim is to
foster stronger connections across
the transportation industry. But we
provide more than software solutions
and logistical tools. In fact, it’s one of
our company values to support the
local programs and organizations that
improve the lives of all who live in our
communities, including those in the
Gem State.
We are so honored to continue to
partner with the Idaho Shakespeare
Festival, an organization devoted to
the arts, entertainment, and education.
Congratulations and thank you for striving
to better the lives of your fellow Idahoans
for the past 40 seasons!

My Fair Lady Continued
early songs. Initially they played the songs
for Halliday, and after his very enthusiastic
response agreed to meet with Miss Martin
one evening following her performances
of Peter Pan. Shortly before midnight, the
couple arrived at the apartment of Lerner’s
mother (neither Lerner nor Loewe lived in
New York) and listened to five songs in
silence. Two days later, Lerner requested
a meeting with Halliday who related that
Mary had been awake half the night saying
over and over again, “How could it have
happened? How could it have happened?
Richard, those dear boys have lost their
talent.” With Mary Martin out, the writers
went on to consider Deanna Durbin and
Delores Gray, but finally decided to pursue
the new young star of The Boy Friend on
Broadway, 19-year-old Julie Andrews.
With the leads signed, the creative team in
place and rehearsals beginning, you would
think it would be time for some smooth
sailing—not so. Harrison became out of
sorts at the very first reading, believing his
character had gotten lost in the second act—
this was only the first of many of Harrison’s
complaints. In terms of the leading lady, it
was only five days into rehearsal when it
became clear to the director, Moss Hart, that
Julie Andrews was clearly out of her depth.
He dismissed the entire company for two
days and took his leading actress to the
New Amsterdam Theatre sealed off from all
outsiders. There, he and Julie put the part of
Eliza together bit by bit; later he recalled, “It
was the sort of thing you couldn’t do in front
of a company without destroying a human
being. We met in this silent, lonely, dark
theater, and I told her ‘Julie, this is stolen
time, time I can’t really afford. So there can
be no time for politeness and you mustn’t
take offense. We have to start from the first
line and go over the whole play line by line.”
By the second week, a new song had been
added for Harrison in Act II, “A Hymn to Him”
returning the focus squarely to Higgins; and
Andrews was processing her 2-day work
session transforming herself into a stunning
Eliza—but one thing was missing. A title.
Originally the musical had been titled Liza;
but with Harrison insisting on star billing
above the title, “Rex Harrison starring in
Liza” didn’t have the ring to it. Other versions
batted around included My Lady Liza, Mayfair
Lady and even the strange Fanfaroon—
Loewe’s favorite because it rhymed with his
biggest hit to date, Brigadoon.
The final drama occurred at 4:00 on the
afternoon of opening night—Rex Harrison
simply refused to go on. His agent was
rushed to the theater to negotiate with the
actor, “I can’t open. I just cannot open. I’m
not ready.” Finally, an hour before curtain,
Harrison emerged from his dressing room
and agreed to go on. Unfortunately, the
company had been dismissed so the start
time of 7:30 grew to 8:40 while the cast was
rounded up—but when the curtain rose,
every single actor was in their place.
So what do My Fair Lady and Hamilton have
in common? They are the groundbreakers of
their respective eras, the ones that defied
the rules and defied the odds. These are
never easy pieces to birth. Each comes
with their own drama, but they both stand
as a unique part of the proud legacy of the
American Musical Theatre—and inspirations
for generations to come.

Director’s Note
The first record of a production of
Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, or What
You Will comes from the diary of John
Manningham, a student of law, who saw the
play performed in the hall of Middle Temple
on 2 February 1602. It is unknown whether
there had been previous performances of the
play. One fact remains certain: the number
of people since John Manningham who have
seen, read, acted in, staged or analyzed
Twelfth Night is essentially unfathomable.
Like the insatiable sea to which it alludes,
the play attracts admirers with its beauty and
humor; then it threatens to overwhelm them
with the scope of its imagistic detail and
mystery. The text’s erotically-charged mixture
of romantic fantasy and domestic realism
conjures a world of wonder-filled possibilities
and status-imposed limitations. Juxtaposing
exquisite pangs of loss and longing with
exuberant declarations of carnal appetite,
Shakespeare invites us to imagine a place
called Illyria, where hope and fantasy collide
with hunger and desire. What the protean
citizens of Illyria do and say in one scene
seldom adheres to their professed intentions
in another. Bound together in service and
society, they echo each other in provocative
and perplexing ways.
Given its intrinsic mutability, Twelfth Night
supports a wide variety of interpretations.
In its history of performance, the play has
seen more than its fair share of adaptations,
rearrangements and abridgments. Star
turns have been fashioned out of many of
its characters, while specific bits of stage
business have become so attached to
certain scenes that actors and directors
must take care to weigh the benefits versus
risks of bucking tradition. Perhaps more
than any of Shakespeare’s plays, it profits
from exposure to multiple productions, as
recollections from past experiences of the
play haunt and inform the present. Besides
the timely conversations the play provokes
about gender identity and the fluidity of love,
Twelfth Night, or What You Will confirms a
shared humanity across the ages, linking
audiences of today to the audience at
Middle Temple in 1602. Imagine what John
Manningham would have to say about that.

DIRECTOR
Synopsis
Sebastian and Viola, twins, are separated
by shipwreck and each believes the other
lost. Cast ashore on the coast of Illyria, Viola
dons male attire and obtains service as a
page to the Duke Orsino. The Duke has been
vainly suing for the hand of Olivia, a wealthy
young woman mourning the recent death of
her brother. Olivia intends to cloister herself
for seven years in remembrance of her
brother’s loss. Pleased with the appearance
of his new page, the Duke sends Viola (now
called Cesario) to deliver his message of
love to Olivia. Viola performs her task with
such gracefulness and eloquence that Olivia
becomes enamored of her instead of the Duke.
Viola, in turn, has fallen in love with the Duke,
but must hide her passion.
Tensions run high in Olivia’s household,
particularly between Olivia’s steward,
Malvolio, her drunken kinsman, Sir Toby Belch,
her jester, Feste, and her lady-in-waiting,
Maria. Malvolio is so priggish and conceited
that the others contrive a practical joke against
him, sending him an anonymous love letter
which he assumes is from Olivia. Malvolio,
following instructions contained in the letter,
behaves so ridiculously that his mistress
believes him to be demented.
Meanwhile, Olivia’s love for Viola becomes so
intense that she sues openly to the fictitious
page, much to the latter’s distress. Sir Andrew
Aguecheek, a foolish suitor of Olivia’s, is
displeased at the favors she shows the page, and
in a spirit of bravado challenges Viola to a duel.
Though both are eager to avoid the conflict, it is
only averted by the arrival of officers.
Sebastian, Viola’s brother, also comes to
Illyria. He looks so much like his sister —
especially since she is in men’s garments
— that Sir Andrew Aguecheek mistakes him
for the page and renews the fight. This time
he does not encounter Viola’s shrinking spirit
or weak arm, and he is soundly beaten. Soon
after, Olivia also meets Sebastian, supposes
him to be Viola and reiterates her devotion.
The delighted Sebastian returns her love and
they are secretly married.
Olivia encounters Viola in company with the
Duke and greets her by the title of husband.
The bewildered page disavows the title,
but the priest who performed the ceremony
vouches for it. The Duke is angry that his
page has deceived him. Viola is meeting with
general disfavor when her brother Sebastian
arrives on the scene, and the two who had
thought each other dead are reunited. Olivia
discovers that she has married the brother,
after having wooed the sister, while the Duke
finds his attachment for his page turns to love
when Viola resumes her feminine attire. The
secret of Malvolio’s dementia is revealed, and
he is released from his confinement.

“O, she doth teach
the torches to burn
bright!” Shakespeare
famously wrote
in Romeo and
Juliet. That’s how
we feel about the
Idaho Shakespeare
Festival, which
produces those rare
live productions that truly excite our minds
and imaginations.
It’s also what we strive to do at Foerstel
Design every day, making our nine-year
commitment to the Festival not only a
perfect pairing of like-minded creative
teams, but also an honor and a privilege. It
is an incredibly fulfilling experience, and one
we have always been proud to be a part of.
So here’s to another exceptional year on
the stage, under the stars, and among
great company.

Simplicity. Authenticity. Generosity.
Just as theater provides a sweet escape for
the senses, we design artful, expressive
fragrances to delight your mood, tell a story,
bring back a precious memory or take you
somewhere exciting and new.
When we launched Scentsy in 2004, a
supportive community rallied behind us.
We will always be grateful for that warm
embrace—that’s why we have such a fierce
commitment to “contribute more than we take”
in our relationships with Scentsy Consultants,
fans and our wonderful Treasure Valley.
In 2015, it was time for Scentsy to tell a
new story. We reimagined new ways to
offer sensory experiences through artisanal
fragrance, alluring home décor and luxurious
personal care products. And once again, our
community showed us warmth, loyalty and
love. We could not imagine a better place to
call home.

Idaho Shakespeare Festival for the
11th year. Most of us at The River
have grown up with ISF and we are
committed to introducing as many

of an evening spent in the lovely
amphitheater by the Boise River,
with a picnic, friends, and the
phenomenal performances we’ve
come to cherish. We are grateful
for our partnership with the Idaho

in celebrating their success and the

The Songs
Stuart Ross, book writer and creator of
Forever Plaid, was just a young boy of five
years old in 1956 when his older brother
went off to college and left him a collection
of vinyl 45s. It included The Four Freshman,
The Four Aces and the Four Lads. His parents
also owned… wait for it… a diner! Who better
to write a 1950s jukebox musical about
a foursome of aspiring clean-cut, closeharmony singing, plaid-wearing young men?

Ross has written us the story of Frankie,
Smudge, Sparky and Jinx, a quartet
returning from the afterlife (they’ve been
killed in a collision with a bus full of
Catholic girls) to play their dream gig.
With 28 songs including Three Coins In A
Fountain, Lady Of Spain and Shangri-La,
we’re transported to a time where 4-part
boy bands harmonized their way from gig
to gig. The tightly arranged vocals are lush,
romantic and swoon-worthy. It’s a style
that personified romance and innocence, a
style that both parents and kids listened to
together in the 1950s.

It’s important to remember that Forever Plaid
is not a spoof or parody. It is truly earnest
and sincere: it just happens to be funny
along the way. There’s innocence and charm
in the notion that 4 high school chums might
rehearse in the family basement, might talk
of young love and squabble about dance
moves and harmony parts. The true joy of
a jukebox musical is that you could strip
the set and lights, and enjoy a concert of
28 nostalgic tunes that transport you to a
bygone era of music. Forever Plaid is no
exception.

WHAT IT WAS: 12 acres with
sewage ponds, poised for
development.
WHAT IT IS: 12 acres of a cleaned
industrial site, courtesy of EPA/DEQ and
in-kind donors.
With the help of hundreds of
donors, the Idaho Foundation for
Parks and Lands now owns the 12
acres next to our favorite
amphitheater.
Remediation is complete with the
removal of sewage ponds. Habitat
restoration is next!
WHAT IT CAN BE: A nested park, a
place to link with nature, a pathway to
refresh your mind in this busy valley.
The proposed Master Plan has been
created and the time is now to help
make it happen.
As the Idaho Foundation for Parks and
Lands and its partners proceed to
move forward, our journey begins
anew. Help shape these 12 acres.

This is Aaron’s
seventeenth
season with Idaho
Aaron graduated from
Boise State University
in 2000 with a BA in
English literature, and
a minor in philosophy.
Aaron and his wife
Mika are currently
trying to wrap their
heads around the fact
that their son Michael
graduated high
school in May, and
turns eighteen this
summer. Objectively,
they know it’s true,
but it seems like just
yesterday that their
son was an eightyear-old asleep in
the back seat of the
car on the way to
Shoshone Falls, or
that the three of them
were at the circus,
buying Michael an
A.W.I.B.S.O. (family
joke). With empty
nest syndrome on the
horizon, Aaron and
Mika are currently
planning to get back
to their roots, and
pursue their love of
competitive grave
digging. With the
recent relaunch of
the Grave Diggers
International
Challenge, which has
been dormant since
the tragedy of 2003,
Aaron and Mika are
confident that they
can once again bring
home the coveted
Golden Shovel.

and finding the best
excuse to get out of
running. Rose has
also successfully
kept a peace lily alive
for five whole years!

Hannah Dunlop Relf
DEVELOPMENT
ASSISTANT
Hannah embarks
on her fifth season
with the Festival,
this being her first
as development
assistant. In her spare
time, she teaches
dance at Ballet Idaho
Academy. Sharing
a passion for dance
and pretending to
be a princess with
ten four-to-six-year
olds is both a great
inspiration and
a great workout!
Hannah also enjoys
spending time
assisting high school
policy debate. She
has, however, noticed
a strong correlation
between her time
with the Festival
and the number
of Shakespeare
references in her
decisions. While
perfecting an
American accent,
she is a true Kiwi at
heart and may be
observed, bleary
eyed, after having
to stay up all night
to catch the rugby
match and eating
too many sausage
rolls. After many
nights of theater
under the stars with
her family, Denis,
Patricia, Alex, Julia,
and her husband Jack,
she looks forward
to an incredible
40th season of more
amazing memories.

GRANTS &
DEVELOPMENT
ASSOCIATE
Christine is the
Festival grant writer in
her sixteenth season
with ISF. She holds a
BFA in art history from
with a specific
interest in the art of
Mexico, admitting
to a slightly out of
control collection of
Dia de los Muertos
figurines. In her free
time, she pretends
to have control over
the growing chaos
of her small family
and may have more
if she would turn off
Masterpiece Theater
or the near-constant
stream of BBC
mystery shows. She
feels tremendous
pressure to mentally
calculate pages she
must read daily in
her Bookclub book to
maintain her dignity
come participation
time, sews too much,
paints too little, and
bakes more than
enough. There is also
a pesky addiction
to the Great British
Baking Show, a
secret love for Paul
Hollywood, and now,
thanks to Martha
Stewart Bakes, the
knowledge that
pate’ brisee is the
only pie crust worth
making. Large Loves
to the little family
that could—Tully,
Augustine, Sevy, and
Evilolive the cat.

2016 Education & Outreach Programs
•Through its school tours, the Festival
annually reaches 50,000 schoolage children and their teachers, in
about 90% of Idaho’s counties, with
a particular emphasis on rural and
underserved areas. The tours also
reach areas in eastern Oregon and
northern Nevada.
•Since its inception in 1986,
Shakespearience has enriched the
lives of over 1,000,000 students.
School of Theater
School Tours and Workshops
Approximately 50,000 students and
teachers statewide will experience
live, professional theater through
an Idaho Shakespeare Festival tour.
Shakespearience presents a 50-minute
Shakespeare play for junior and senior
high schools and Idaho Theater for Youth
(ITY) visits elementary schools with newly
commissioned work or innovative new
plays. In 2016, Shakespearience presented
Hamlet, directed by Gordon Reinhart,
and ITY presented The Shakespeare
Stealer, based on the book series by Gary
Blackwood and directed by ISF Artistic
Associate Tom Ford.
•The National Endowment for the Arts in
partnership with Arts Midwest presents
Shakespeare in American Communities.
Idaho Shakespeare Festival is one of 40
professional theater companies selected
to participate in bringing the finest
productions of Shakespeare to middleand high-school students in communities
across the United States. This is the twelfth
year of this national program, the largest
tour of Shakespeare in American history.
•The Festival is the largest provider of
professional, performing arts outreach in
the State of Idaho.
page 66
Each spring semester, students (from preschool through 12th grade) take theater
classes focused on expanding the imagination
and nurturing creativity. From acting and
improv to musical theater—students explore
language, story, character and acting
technique as they build their confidence,
expand upon their talents, and enhance their
problem-solving skills.
•The School of Theater exemplifies the
Festival’s attempts to foster life-long
learning and appreciation of the theater.
•More than 300 Treasure Valley students
attend sessions each year.
School Residencies and Workshops
The Festival’s education department has
been creating and implementing custom
curriculum for schools and groups year-round
since its beginning. Idaho Shakespeare
Festival can develop workshops and/or
residencies for schools to fit any schedule and
to complement any established curriculum.
The Helena Project
The Helena Project was developed to give
students at St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital
an opportunity to learn Shakespeare,
to perform, to build esteem—and most
importantly, to have fun. These students
from a variety of grade levels have various
learning abilities and are often facing
severe medical challenges. After missing
just 10 days of school, students undergoing
treatment for cancer, cystic fibrosis, sickle
cell, or Crohn’s disease are at high risk
for having to repeat an entire grade. This
curriculum has the ability to bring together
groups of disparate students facing a wide
range of challenges. It includes theater
warm-ups, games, a synopsis and character
introduction from the play, as well as
rehearsal techniques, and initial performance
opportunities. Take-away props are also
given to each child to reinforce and solidify
the lesson plan and to encourage ongoing
thoughts about the experience.
“At the deepest level the creative process
and the healing process arise from a
single source.” – R A C H E L N A O M I R E M E N ,

Summer Camps
CAMP SHAKESPEARE, CAMP IMPROV
AND CAMP MUSICAL
In June and July, students experience
the wonders and words of the Bard as
they journey through enchanted woods,
cities, courts and castles in Shakespeare’s
plays. Students in grades 1–12 learn to tell
Shakespeare’s stories, create the characters
and find out what makes a play and its
characters “come alive.” Intensive Class
students perform their work at the end
of each session.

2016 Access Program

opportunities for people to participate in the theater who
otherwise would not be able to do so. The goal of expanding
access is pursued in the following ways:
• Signing Shakespeare Each of the summer productions are
interpreted into American Sign Language for the Deaf and
hard-of-hearing. Each production is interpreted on one night
of its run.

Through the Access Program, the Festival is able to offer an
inclusive cultural experience to the broader Idaho community of
the Deaf and hard-of-hearing; provide an enriching and enjoyable
outing for elderly citizens living with few means and often without
family support; offer an educational, socializing experience for
children in the juvenile corrections system; and engage newly
arrived refugees with the language and culture of their new home.
For more information on the Access Program, please contact
Hannah Dunlop Relf at [email protected] or
208-429-9908 x207
The Festival would like to thank our generous donors who make this
program possible:

• Complimentary Tickets The Festival partners with community
groups and social service organizations that serve people who
face financial constraints to bring these patrons to the theater
free-of-charge. Groups include at-risk youth, elderly on fixed

• The Helena Project Named for a character in A Midsummer
Night’s Dream who grows and blossoms over the course of
the play, the Helena Project engages teaching artists from the

MEMORIES
FROM OUR MEMBERS
I TOOK TWO HIGH SCHOOL
Congolese refugee kids to the ISF production of
The Secret Garden they were enthralled! What
a wonderful, transporting experience and what
a beautiful example of the international appeal
of gorgeous music, a great uplifting story, and
the unity of theater! – S T E F A N I E F R Y
LOVED EVERY THEATER LOCATION…
MEMORIES
OF A LIFETIME
some more than others—but all memorable experiences. Most
memorable—the very first performance of A Midsummer Night’s
Dream at One Capital Center—and particularly the story of Doug
Oppenheimer’s involvement in how it came to be located there. As
These memories are brought to
you by our ISF members. We are so
grateful for your years of support.
My first experience with ISF was through
far as we can remember, we have attended at least one performance
and most often all shows since the beginning—40 years! How can it
be 40!!! We are proud to be members.– PAT & LISA MCMURRAY
ITY AT SILVER SAGE ELEMENTARY IN THE 90s. I was so engrossed
with the plays & looked forward to them every year. Now I have been a member for 4 years, & am studying to be
an Elementary educator. I am often told my lessons show unique creativity & engagement, & I credit a lot
of that to ISF for showing me how accessible ELA can be (and fun)! – J A C Q U E L Y N & I A N B L A C K S T O N E
TOO MANY
WONDERFUL
MEMORIES TO
CHOOSE AMONG.

Thank you for
– JOHN & BECKY VERITY
changing our cultural
lives. – J A N A L D E N
John & I have been attending ISF since
inception at Angell’s (One Capital Center).
It is one of the things we look forward to the
most! Boise is so lucky to have all of you; the
amazing people, shows, talent. We brag about
you to our out of town friends & bring them
when they visit. You are a Boise treasure. H a y
– R o b e r t
ARE GREAT!
YOU GUYS
Our little boy—now 25— saw his first Shakespeare
performance at PARKCENTER. Well
that was the first professional performance. He
has seen me on stage since he was a tot in
West Virginia at the Daniel Mtn. Players. We
were careful to “steal” a plank from the stage
at ParkCenter when it went under. It is now my
proudest possession. – C H R I S & K A R E N M E Y E R
I DON’T RECALL THE YEAR,
but I was 14 or 15 years old and my
English teacher asked me to hand out
programs. We were allowed to watch
once we were done. It was The Tempest
I was hooked! I have attended every
season for the next 30+. It started my
–DIANNE DIMICK
love of theater.
The first ISF I attended was with friends–at Plantation.
I also brought students each year to
the fall workshops. My husband and I have not missed a play for 21 years and have held season tickets since the
opening of the current location. I have tried to support ISF every year, including membership & land purchase.
It is a huge part of our summer and we still love finding our quote on the wall. – G L E N D A & J O N E U B A N K S
Boise’s art scene is as good as any place in
America—and more fun. Thanks ISF for making
Boise entertaining and special.
– BILL & ANN CONNORS
LITTLE DID I KNOW 40 YEARS AGO
that the man I spotted occasionally at the One Capitol
Center ISF productions would become my spouse a
decade later. During our almost 29 years of marriage, we
missed few seasons. ISF was always a major component
of our sum mer en j o y m e n t. M y h u s b a n d , R oc k y
Carpenter, passed away this spring, but I attended all of
the productions this last season and had an opportunity
to reflect on the many times we spent together with
friends and family “under the stars” experiencing great
theater! – S A L L Y C A S L E R
and they seldom miss a summer bringing their families out to Idaho.
I think that was the summer of Willmorth and Golden’s Tartuffe spoof
on the “Tight Pantaloon Contest” courtesy of our present governor.
You have enriched my life 100 fold. Thank you. – J A N E T M E E K S
-BRUCE & JULIA NEWCOMB
Our first real “NIGHT OUT” when we arrived
in Boise in 2009 was at ISF. We quickly learned
thespians! I am still dear friends with actors Wil Wood and Kim Ataide,
IT WAS FABULOUS!
under our blanket. – D A R R E N B O A R D
My sister (Lynn Meeks) and I hosted a
young actor. Our house became a central location for many of the
at the Festival was when I was
about 10. My grandmother took
me to downtown Boise to see
A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The Foundation for

Festival
1916 2016
Celebrating
100
years
of reliable,
fair-priced service.
Visit our website for
a decade-by-decade
account of defining
moments in our
history and to follow
our traveling exhibit.
The Foundation for the Idaho
Shakespeare Festival was
established in 2002, as a
separately governed entity.
It provides structure and
oversight for planned gifts
and bequests to the Festival
through the form of an
endowment.
Is there room for Will in your
will? Please take a moment to
think about including Idaho
Shakespeare Festival in your
plans for the future. A bequest
would ensure that your support
continues as a legacy within the
community. The Foundation is
a vehicle for such gifts as life
insurance policies, charitable gift
annuities, remainder trusts and
others. Consult your attorney or
tax accountant for details.
For additional information
or for questions about the
Foundation, please contact

Shakespeare
Society
The Society is a devoted group of patrons supporting the
Idaho Shakespeare Festival whose purpose is to increase
knowledge of and support for the Festival, for theater arts in
Idaho and, specifically, the works of William Shakespeare!
There are five fun, informal events in the summer where
Society members mix and mingle, enjoy mouth-watering
hors d’oeuvres by Lisa Peterson and an array of wine and
beer, and then gather for an engaging forum with
artistic director Charles Fee and key members of the company.
Each event is focused on one of the five plays in ISF’s current
season. These events provide a fascinating insider’s view into
the making of each play and the dedication that comes with
creating magical productions for the summer stage.
Please join this group of patrons whose invaluable support is
behind the success and gusto of every Festival show. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT MARK HOFFLUND AT 208-429-9908 EXT 202

2016 Housing Thanks
Shakespeare’s Humble Hosts: Since the first season ISF has relied on the generous and big-hearted Boise community to
provide a summer home for each of our visiting artists. Their days are long and full as each actor, designer and technician works
tirelessly to bring us our beloved “Shakespeare Under the Stars.” We would like to take this moment to offer a hearty salute and
giant thank you to those “Humble Hosts” who have helped from the start. We would also like to dub them the Founding Members of
Shakespeare’s Humble Hosts. As the company has grown, we continue to rely most heavily on the Founders, but for various reasons
we also have come to rely on apartment rentals for many of our visiting artists. The apartment rentals are a big slice of our financial
pie each summer and we would like to invite you to thank the new Humble Hosts who stepped forward at our 2016 Fundraising Gala
to support apartment rentals. As the Humble Host Founders have shown time and again, a place to lay your head, dust off the cares of
the day and begin again fresh the next morn is absolutely crucial to each artist crafting our summer stage offerings. The Humble Host
Founders set a high standard for benevolence, opening their personal homes. While not everyone is able to open their homes, we
would like to give all an opportunity to be a Humble Host. Give $1000 and support one of our visiting artists for a month of that most
fundamental of daily cares—a place to rest and call “home.” That gift covers the apartment as well as the furnishings. ISF will then
on your behalf provide your name and a welcome package as they arrive to their new abode. If you would prefer, ISF will place a care
package of your crafting to welcome them home, the way only Boiseans do so well.
Many thanks and our heartfelt appreciation to the Humble Hosts who graciously contributed at our
2015 Gala toward housing costs:

19 Minutes
I got the dreaded call from Hannah back on August 16th. "Where are you?"
I had overlooked my assignment to video record Showcase. I jumped out of my
chair and ran for the car. No shoes. No shirt. No kidding.
I hit all the lights green. I phoned ahead and asked for a t-shirt to meet me in
the parking lot. I pulled on the shirt, grabbed my camera and ran to set up.
I think I had 2 minutes to spare before the show began. 19 minutes. A record,
I'm sure.

2016 Greenshow Mini-Concerts
Classical Revolution: Boise
An alternative
to the concert
hall in which
classically
trained local
musicians
perform in
a relaxed
atmosphere
bringing classical music to the people of Boise. Founded in
2012, Classical Revolution: Boise has collaborated with many
Boise institutions, including the Boise Art Museum and Story
Story Night. Offering a wide range of musical styles, Classical
Revolution: Boise musicians are just as likely to be heard
performing with a symphony orchestra as they are at a coffee
shop or bar.

Kevin Kirk & Onomatopoeia
is a daring ensemble exploring the musical frontiers where jazz,
classical, rock, Celtic, Brazilian and bluegrass genres converge;
exuberant compositions, direct and hope-filled. Their music
is unique, an energetic sound that explodes from the stage
inspiring listeners through
their critically acclaimed
5 CD recordings. Idaho
Public TV’s awardwinning production,
Onomatopoeia, Live in
Concert is aired regularly
throughout the USA
and internationally. NPR
listeners voted “Lord,
Have Mercy” #2 for All Songs Considered. “Some Assembly
Required” just missed a Grammy nomination. Their newest CD,
“What is the nature of your emergency?” was released last year.
The Boise Chordsmen
men’s chorus loves
to sing a cappella in the barbershop style. They are a chapter of
the Barbershop Harmony Society led by Director Rich Lapp, with
members who reside all over the valley. For the ISF mini concerts
they will feature delightful quartets. Barbershop harmony is a
style of unaccompanied singing with three voices harmonizing to
the melody. The Boise Chordsmen are members of the Barbershop
Harmony Society and are Division V champions in the Evergreen
District. They are dedicated to the promotion and development of
Barbershop singing by entertaining people of all ages throughout
the community.
Edmond Dantes
In addition to being one of the
greatest characters in literary history—is a music project started
by music teachers Andrew Stensaas and Ryan Peck in 2012.
Edmond Dantes has
released two EPs: Etta
(2013) and Juno (2014)
and one full-length: 6:13—
Soundtrack to Almosting
It (2015). Edmond Dantes
have had songs place in a
multitude of commercial
projects. In the summer of
2015 Edmond Dantes was featured as the entire soundtrack of the
motion picture Almosting It—a movie featuring Lee Majors (The
Fall Guy, Six Million Dollar Man), Terry Keiser (Weekend at Bernie’s)
and Jane Merrow (The Lion in Winter). The focus is melody, hooks
and, hopefully, hitting that intangible pleasure center that exists
in the realm of pop. Throw some old Motown, some eighties synth
pop and a few dashes of Blue Eyed Soul in a bowl and you’ll
have a good approximation of Edmond Dantes’ sonic cookies.

All about great performances.
Whether it’s a tragedy, comedy or musical, great theater has one thing
in common. From Act 1 to the final scene, everything is done with the
audience in mind.
The same applies in healthcare. That’s why everything we do is focused
on your needs, to help you stay healthy. Or recover quickly. So you can
spend more time doing the things you love.
At Saint Alphonsus, we applaud the Idaho Shakespeare Festival.
Because a great performance, like great healthcare, is all about you.

A community is more than a collection of homes and businesses. It’s also the institutions that
improve our lives through art, music, dance, and theater. KeyBank supports a wide range of arts
organizations, because we know that a vibrant cultural scene is vital to bringing the people of our
communities closer through their shared appreciation of the diverse talents they provide. That’s
why KeyBank has been a proud sponsor of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s Shakespeare Under
the Stars for 19 glorious seasons.
