A Message from
Producing Artistic Director Charles Fee
reached! Idaho Foundation for Parks and
Lands took the leadership role in crafting
this solution with a purchase agreement
for the 12-acre site that will protect both
the future of the Festival and the “oasis for
wildlife” that is the Barber Pool habitat. To
all who helped bring about this welcome
and fitting resolution, our deepest thanks!
Now, on to the season!
Dear Friends,
On behalf of our artists, staff, and board
of trustees, welcome to the 38th season
of Idaho Shakespeare Festival – one
of the signature cultural events of the
intermountain west. Again this year,
the Festival was honored to be named
Boise’s Cultural Ambassador for Economic
Development by Mayor Bieter in recognition
of the vital contributions we make to both
the artistic life and economic health of our
community. It is deeply rewarding to all
of us at the Festival that the City of Boise
celebrates the impact arts organizations
have on our community’s economic
development (generating more than $48
million annually and supporting over 1,600
jobs) as well as the role we play in the
cultural and educational lives of the region!
But the value of the Festival to our
community was also acknowledged this
year by the thousands of supporters who
joined the public process of determining
the appropriate use for land adjacent
to the Festival and the Barber Pool
Conservation Area. Through your efforts
and the tireless commitment of our Board
of Trustees, the pro bono legal counsel
of Gary Allen and Givens Pursley law firm,
our neighborhood associations, Riverstone
International School, and our long time
partners at Idaho Foundation for Parks
and Lands, a classic win-win solution was
page 18
We open with: “Deathtrap. A thriller
in two acts. One set, five characters.
A juicy murder in act one, unexpected
developments in act two.” From the
opening lines of Ira Levin’s brilliantly selfreflexive thriller, the audience is drawn
into a room of mirrors in which every
reflection doubles back on itself. In other
words, a perfect thriller about writing
the perfect thriller! And we are thrilled
to return this summer to the murdermystery genre we began to explore in
2012 with that other play about a trap:
The Mousetrap.
Playing in rep with Deathtrap is the first
of our Shakespeare plays for the season,
As You Like It. Director Edward Morgan
makes his Festival debut with a brilliantly
conceived production of Shakespeare’s
deeply romantic comedy, set in early
20th-century America, in which the
Forest of Arden is in the foothills of the
Adirondacks, the villains are greedy
industrialists, and the lovers, Rosalind and
Orlando, are the new Americans. Edward
brings his love of music to the foreground
in this most-musical of Shakespeare’s
plays, including a tap-dancing vaudevillian
and a barbershop quartet!
Opening July 5th is Les Misérables, the
longest running and most successful
musical in the world! Victoria Bussert
(director of last season’s Sweeney Todd)
will direct a company of twenty actors in
this theatrical epic based on Victor Hugo’s
novel. Vicky’s approach will focus on the
story, using an immediate and intimate
production style, with an ensemble of
actors playing multiple roles. We are
thrilled to have Stephen Mitchell Brown
(Jean Valjean) and Brian Sunderland
(Javert) join our company this season. Both
actors come to Idaho with an impressive
body of work in musical theater including
Broadway and national touring experience.
Playing in rep with “Les Mis” is the second
Shakespeare offering of the summer, The
Merry Wives of Windsor. Director Tracy
Young, whose previous work with ISF
includes The Taming of the Shrew (2011)
and The Imaginary Invalid (2012), is surely
one of the most inventive artists working
in the theater today—which bodes well
for Festival audiences this summer. Merry
Wives is sure to be a crazy ride through a
wild Windsor!
In September, director Sari Ketter, who
created last season’s smash-hit, The
Foreigner, is back with a stellar cast
of women for Robert Harling’s bittersweet comedy, Steel Magnolias. Our
“September show” has become its own
special event, with an earlier curtain
time, cooler evenings, and a focus on
more contemporary works — and Steel
Magnolias promises to be the perfect play
to finish a great season!
As always, we want to thank our partners
and great friends in the corporate and
foundation community, led by our
unwavering season sponsor, KeyBank
and long-time season partner, Micron
Foundation, for their continued support.
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 a future
filled with ever more collaboration and
creativity.
From all of us at the Festival, we hope you
love the season!
Sincerely,
Charlie

One of the great popular successes of
recent Broadway history, this ingeniously
constructed play offers a rare and skillful
blending of two priceless theatrical
ingredients—gasp-inducing thrills and
spontaneous laughter. Dealing with the
devious machinations of a writer of thrillers
whose recent offerings have been flops,
and who is prepared to go to any lengths to
improve his fortunes, it provides twists and
turns and sudden shocks in such abundance
that audiences will be held spellbound until
the very last moment.
“It is a classic thriller, a genre with a
style, a manner and an audience of
its own. If you like thrillers, do see
it. I promise you that it is vintage.”
—NY POST
“The intricately fashioned
plot contortions brought
gasps, the comedy lines drew
delighted chortles…”
THE STORY:
Seemingly comfortably ensconced in his
charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl,
a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is
struggling to overcome a “dry” spell which
has resulted in a string of failures and a
shortage of funds. A possible break in his
fortunes occurs when he receives a script
from a student in the seminar he has been
conducting at a nearby college—a thriller
which Sidney recognizes immediately as a
potential Broadway hit. Sidney’s plan, which
he devises with his wife’s help, is to offer
collaboration to the student, an idea which
the younger man quickly accepts. Thereafter
suspense mounts steadily as the plot begins
to twist and turn with devilish cleverness,
and with such an abundance of thrills
and laughter, that audiences will be held
enthralled until the final, startling moments of
the play.

Synopsis
Director’s Note
Duke Senior has been forced into exile from
the court by his brother, the usurping Duke
Frederick. He takes refuge in the Forest of
Arden with a band of faithful lords. Rosalind,
his daughter, is kept uneasily at court as a
companion to her cousin Celia, Frederick’s
daughter. Meanwhile, Orlando, the youngest
son of the late Sir Rowland de Boys, has
been kept in poverty by his brother Oliver
since their father’s death. Orlando decides
to wrestle for his fortune at Frederick’s court,
where he meets Rosalind and they fall in love.
On the surface, this is a tale of exile and
romance. The plot is simple: a young
gentleman and two young noblewomen are
driven from their homes. They flee into the
forest where the rightful Duke has been
exiled. But instead of an empty wilderness,
they encounter shepherds, wandering
nobles, philosophers, hermits, deer and
lions—a population Shakespeare borrows
from the tales of Robin Hood, English
pastorals and classical poetry. This is the
fabled Forest of Arden.
The Duke banishes Rosalind, fearing that she
is a threat to his rule. Celia, refusing to be
parted from her cousin, goes with Rosalind
to seek Duke Senior in the Forest. For safety,
they disguise themselves—Rosalind as
a boy named Ganymede and Celia as his
sister Aliena—and they persuade the fool
Touchstone to accompany them.
Orlando, Rosalind and Celia arrive in Arden
and their dangers dissipate. The wood
becomes a haven wherein they take on new
identities in life and love. Meanwhile, the
city-folk mingle with country-folk and the
exiled Duke and his followers contemplate
the natural state of man. All of these threads
are interwoven through language as elegant
as any Shakespeare wrote, flowing scene to
scene like a brook through dappled glades.
Orlando returns from the court and learns
of a plot by his brother to kill him. He
flees with a loyal servant to the Forest and
takes refuge with the exiled Duke. Still
thinking on Rosalind, he begins posting
love lyrics through the forest. Before long,
he encounters her, but she is disguised as
Ganymede. She proceeds to coach Orlando
on how to woo his Rosalind, often playing
the part of Rosalind herself.
Elsewhere in the Forest, Touchstone pursues
Audrey, a goat-herd, and the shepherd
Silvius dotes on his neighbor Phoebe,
who has fallen for Ganymede (Rosalind in
disguise). Meanwhile, Oliver has been sent
to hunt down his brother and arrives in the
Forest, where Orlando saves his life from
an attack by a lion. Oliver repents his past
abuse of Orlando and promptly falls in love
with Aliena (Celia in disguise).
As Ganymede, Rosalind promises to
satisfy Orlando’s longing and to resolve
all of the love plots in one flourish. She
does so, forsaking her disguise, reuniting
with her father and joining at last with
young Orlando. Then news arrives that
Duke Frederick has had a conversion and
renounced the Dukedom, so the exiles can
return to civilization and their former lives.
Only the melancholy Jaques will stay behind
in the Forest.
ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY
(edited/updated by Edward Morgan)
Yet beneath its sparkling surface, As You
Like It is not froth. It juxtaposes civilized
corruption with the natural world, and
mocks how urban and rural people view
each other. It plays with gender roles and
sexual ambivalence. It gazes on mortality
and redemption, and celebrates the
threshold of a new era of individuality and
liberation. With themes so modern, it’s
astonishing to remember that this play
premiered 415 years ago.
So what have we done with our production?
We’ve set it in New England during the
second Industrial Revolution, not long after
the start of the 20th century. We’ve placed
Arden in the foothills of the Adirondack
Mountains. The villains are greedy
Industrialists. The exiled Duke is a follower
of Emerson, a would-be Thoreau. Rosalind
and Orlando are the new Americans. Fiercely
democratic, they succeed by merit—not
privilege—as they forge a new worldview
and sense of equality. Indeed, in this context,
the delightful, ever-resourceful Rosalind
becomes a kind of metaphor for American
womanhood, advancing from 19th-century
servitude through Gibson Girl glamor to the
courage of the Suffragette, and beyond.
And finally, since the true pulse of an era
resounds in its music, we’ve replaced
Shakespeare’s songs with tunes that echo
these themes through Yankee syncopation.
It has been fun transplanting this brilliant
play to American soil. It gives the text new
resonance for us. We hope it does the same
for you, and that our version is as you like it.

PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER, IDAHO STATESMAN
is one of the world’s leading theatrical
licensing agencies, granting schools as
well as amateur and professional theatres
from around the world the rights to perform
the largest selection of great musicals
from Broadway and beyond. MTI works
directly with the composers, lyricists and
book writers of these shows to provide
official scripts, musical materials and
dynamic theatrical resources to over 60,000
theatrical organizations in the US and in
over 60 countries worldwide.
Alain Boublil
Alain Boublil’s first musical, La Revolution
Française in 1973, marked his transition
from songwriting to musical theatre and the
start of his collaboration with Claude-Michel
Schönberg with the hit album that became
the first ever staged French musical. His idea
of writing a musical version of Les Misérables
brought them together again in 1978. The
acclaimed show was written over a two-year
period and recorded as an album before its
opening at the Palais de Sports in Paris in
September 1980. In 1983 Mr. Boublil met
Cameron Mackintosh which led to his first
London production Abbacadabra (a musical
fairy-tale set to ABBA music) and to working
with Claude-Michel and directors and writers
on the English language adaptation of Les
Misérables. The show has subsequently
opened in 19 countries and 14 languages.
Among the many awards Mr. Boublil has
received were two Tony Awards in 1987
for Best Score and Best Book for the NY
production and a 1988 Grammy for the Best
Original Broadway Cast Recording which he
co-produced with Claude-Michel Schönberg.
Miss Saigon opened on September 20, 1989
at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London
and on April 11, 1991 in NY. The show has
also played in Tokyo and Toronto with future
production scheduled for Sydney, Australia
and Stuttgart, Germany. Mr. Boublil will
maintain a close association with all the
international productions of Les Misérables
and Miss Saigon while working with ClaudeMichel on the screenplays for motion picture
versions of both musicals.
Claude-Michel Schönberg
Claude-Michel Schönberg is a successful
record producer and songwriter who began
his collaboration with Alain Boublil in 1973,
writing the very first French musical, La
Revolution Française. Mr. Schönberg played
the role of Louis XVI in that production and
also co-produced the double-gold record
album of the show. In 1974, he recorded an
album, singing his own compositions and
lyrics, which included the number-one hit
single Le Premier Pas. In 1980, after two
years’ work on the score, Mr. Schönberg and
Mr. Boublil’s musical Les Misérables opened
in Paris, where it was seen by more than
1.5 million people. In 1983, Mr. Schönberg
produced an opera album in Paris with Julia
Migenes Johnson and the Monte Carlo
Philharmonic Orchestra. Following work on
the London production of Les Misérables (the
3rd longest running musical in British theatre
history), Mr. Schönberg co-produced the

Les Misérables continued
double-platinum London cast album and
became involved in casting all the major
overseas productions of the show, including
the American, Japanese and Australian
companies. He won two coveted Tony
Awards, for Best Score and Book, for the
Broadway production of Les Misérables and a
Grammy Award for the Best Original Cast
Recording, which he co-produced with Alain
Boublil. He also worked closely on the
symphonic recording of the show. His score
for Miss Saigon, again written in
collaboration with Alain Boublil, is now
repeating the international success story of
Les Misérables. Produced by Cameron
Mackintosh and again bringing together
many members of the creative team behind
Les Misérables, Miss Saigon opened with
huge success at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane
in London in September 1989, in NY in April
1991, in Tokyo in May 1992 and in Chicago
(the first national U.S. tour) in November
1992. Future productions will open in Sydney,
Australia and Stuttgart, Germany. Now
Claude-Michel is back at the keyboards,
composing their next musical, Martin Guerre,
while keeping close eye on the development
of the screenplays for Les Misérables and
Miss Saigon.
Director’s Note
Les Misérables has been a blockbuster hit
since 1862, when Victor Hugo’s soaring saga
of social injustice, revolution, hope and
redemption was published in Paris. It took
Hugo almost twenty years to write the 1200
pages or 365 chapters that make up what
many believe to be one of the greatest novels
of all time. It sold out its initial print run on
the very first day.
The journey from novel to musical is an
interesting one. In 1978, Alain Boublil and
Claude-Michel Schönberg, friends for more
than a decade, attended the London revival
of Lionel Bart’s Oliver based on the Charles
Dickens novel and produced by a young,
Cameron Mackintosh. While watching the
production, Boublil began to see striking
similarities between the Artful Dodger of
Oliver and the street urchin, Gavroche,
in Hugo’s novel. During the performance
he continued to uncover more and more
character parallels between the two works.
Describing that evening Boublil says, “I
was in a kind of trance the whole evening
and came out of that incredible production
obsessed. I was going to do the same. I had
no doubts...the characters were all there...
so I went back to Paris, spent time with the
novel, went through it with my pen thinking
this would make a song and this wouldn’t,
and called Claude-Michel.”
The collaborators were so confident and
excited by the project that they gave up their
jobs and committed their time to writing this
epic musical. It became a two-year labor
of cutting, condensing and shaping. Alain
and Claude-Michel produced a demo tape
of their musical with Claude-Michel at the
piano singing all the parts—male and female.
Robert Hossein, a well-known director, heard
their cassette and agreed to tackle the first
production at the Palais des Sports which
happened to have an unexpected threemonth scheduling gap between Holiday On
Ice and the Moscow State Circus. The initial
production had many problems including the
testing of a transmitter on the Eiffel Tower
making the actor’s microphones unusable
at the first preview. The frustrated director
went onstage and ordered the audience to go
home; however, most of them waited out the
hour-and-a-half delay and didn’t leave the
theater until the show’s completion at one
o’clock in the morning. In those three months
of performances, more than 500,000 people
packed the sports arena to witness this epic
production. “It was a huge success,” recalled
Schönberg, “but when it finished, it was
finished.”
Or was it? Much later, the collaborators
heard from the French Society of Writers
that a British producer named Cameron
Mackintosh, the same man who had
produced the revival of Oliver, was looking
for them. They met for lunch in Paris on
page 26
February 4, 1983. “We didn’t know it,” said
Schönberg, “but it was the most important
day of our lives.” Two years later Les
Misérables opened at the RSC in London,
later transferring to the Palace Theatre, and
in 2004 to the Queens Theatre where it has
been running ever since. Mackintosh says,
“I am often asked what it is that makes
audiences and actors so passionate about
Les Mis, as the show is fondly known.
The abbreviation of the title is maybe a
clue—in Hugo’s story the characters are so
personal, so timeless, so universal, they
remain a contemporary mirror of ourselves.
Audiences feel possessive of this timeless
tale, where the downtrodden have to fight
to be heard and sometimes die to be free,
yet in their darkest struggle find love,
life and laughter, and mankind’s most
redeeming trait, the unquenchable survival
of the human spirit.”
Les Misérables originally opened at the
Kennedy Center in December of 1986,
a city specifically chosen due to its
audience’s sophistication and political
awareness. It made the move to Broadway
on March 12, 1987 opening to rave
reviews and winning eight Tony Awards.
The original production closed in 2003
with revivals in 2007 and 2014. There is
no doubt that Les Misérables is a global
phenomenon; it’s thru-composed score
changed the landscape of musical theater
and welcomed a new generation of “epic”
musicals. And yet, it’s somehow especially
fitting that the Idaho Shakespeare
Festival and the Great Lakes Theater,
sister companies that share the Royal
Shakespeare Company vision of valuing
Shakespeare and musicals side-by-side,
should bring Les Misérables back into a
classical theater company. Welcome home,
Les Mis—tonight we hear the people sing.

CEO, MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD,
MICRON TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION, INC.
Falstaff arrives in Windsor short on money.
In an effort to solve his financial woes, he
decides that he will court two wealthy married
women, Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page. Falstaff
sends the women identical love letters and
asks his associates– Pistol and Nym – to
deliver them to the wives. When they refuse,
Falstaff sacks them, and, in revenge, the men
tell the husbands of Falstaff’s intentions. Mr.
Page is not concerned, but Mr. Ford’s jealousy
is inflamed.
Meanwhile, three different men are trying
to win the hand of Mr. Page’s daughter,
Miss Anne Page. Mrs. Page would like her
daughter to marry Doctor Caius, a physician,
whereas the girl’s father would like her to
marry Mr. Slender, the nephew of the wealthy
Mr. Shallow. Anne herself is in love with Mr.
Fenton, but Mr. Page has rejected Fenton as
a suitor due to his having squandered his
fortune on extravagant living.
When the wives receive Falstaff’s letters, each
informs the other, and they discover that the
letters are identical. For their own amusement
and to gain revenge for his indecent
assumptions, the wives pretend to respond to
his advances.
Mr. Ford becomes suspicious of his wife’s
fidelity and poses as ‘Mr. Brook,’ who offers
to pay Falstaff to court Mrs. Ford, convincing
Falstaff that once she has lost her honor
Mr. Brook will be able to tempt Mrs. Ford
himself. Falstaff cannot believe his luck, and
tells ‘Mr. Brook’ he has already arranged to
meet Mrs. Ford while her husband is out.
When Falstaff arrives to meet Mrs. Ford, the
wives trick him into hiding inside a basket
to avoid discovery by the jealous husband.
The wives then have the basket taken away
and the contents (including Falstaff) dumped
into the river. Although this affects Falstaff’s
pride, his ego is surprisingly resilient. He is
convinced that the wives are just “playing
hard to get,” and so he continues his pursuit
of them.
Again Falstaff goes to meet the women but Mrs.
Page comes back and warns Mrs. Ford of her
husband’s approach. This time they trick Falstaff
into disguising himself as Mrs. Ford’s aunt, but
Mr. Ford ends up beating “her” anyway.
Eventually the wives tell their husbands about
the series of jokes they have played on Falstaff,
page 28
and together they devise one last public
humiliation for Falstaff, involving a pageant
being enacted by residents of the town. During
the pageant, each of Miss Anne Page’s suitors
attempts to steal her away, with Mrs. Page
aiding Dr. Caius and Mr. Page aiding Slender.
Fenton, however, escapesescapes with Anne.
Once the joke is played out on Falstaff,
he accepts his punishment surprisingly
well, and sees it as deserved. Fenton and
Anne return and announce they have been
married. Fenton chides the parents for trying
to force Anne to marry men she did not love
and the parents accept the marriage and
congratulate the young pair. A celebration
begins and Mrs. Page happily invites Falstaff
to join the festivities.
Director’s Note
The end of the Second World War was a
particularly galvanizing time in American
history. The country as a whole shared
great optimism about the future prosperity
of the new “Baby Boomer” generation,
and yet at the same time experienced a
more complicated and darker awareness of
humanity overall. America had strong regard
for its moral fabric and also an increasing
doubt about the durability of that fabric.
Tensions between ideals of community and
individualism, transformations of accepted
notions of status, and evolving expectations
of traditional gender roles introduced changes
in American society that would unfold
over the next fifty years. Soldiers returned
home to spouses and both partners often
struggled with the distance that had come
between them, both literally and figuratively.
Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor
explores similar expectations and tensions,
and this adaptation carries them into the
period just after the war, when triumphant
feeling struggled with the realities of a
threatening world. “Merry Wives” is about
feeling like an outsider to a community and
finding identity within it, and about how
a community can support or inhibit selfexpression.
The play good-naturedly, but pointedly
skewers our weaknesses. Jealousy
is represented in at least three other
Shakespeare plays as a potently destructive
force, but in “Merry Wives,” we can recognize
and grow from it. Lustfulness and a propensity
for gossip and deceitfulness appear in this
play as potentially but never quite, destructive.
The play is constructed to a human scale, and
with a generosity towards the characters that
inhabit its world. Shakespeare’s Falstaff is a
paragon of human foibles, and in The Merry
Wives of Windsor he is the figure most alien to
the play’s community.
What is it about Falstaff? Why is this larger
than life figure so memorable and so prone
to take up residence in our hearts and
imaginations? Referred to as a “fat knight,”
he embodies a laundry list of vices; he is lazy,
slovenly, a drunkard, a womanizer, a thief, a
braggart, a coward and a prevaricator. And
yet, we can’t get enough of him. Perhaps it is
because Falstaff represents the joy of freely
following our impulses without concern for
the consequences. But then, inevitably, the
consequences of hedonistic living come to
pass—obesity, alcoholism, poverty, and
perhaps most meaningfully the rejection of
one’s community. Falstaff is brought down
by his unbridled ways and rejected by the
young king in the Henry plays. But there
is no delight in watching Falstaff get his
comeuppance there, for we still harbor a love
for him, and the way he mirrors us in our most
childlike selves. Shakespeare is rumored to
have been encouraged by Queen Elizabeth I
to write a light-hearted romp for Falstaff. In
Shakespeare’s wisdom, this rollicking work
framed Falstaff as an outsider who, by his
very way of being, challenges the community
to confront its notions about morality and
acceptance of difference. Once again, Falstaff
suffers rejection and humiliation for his
shortcomings, but ultimately Shakespeare
uses the community’s embracing of Falstaff as
a symbol of enrichment and growth.
Lastly, though, it is useful to remember that
Shakespeare titled this play The Merry Wives
of Windsor, and for good reason. The play
is centered not around Falstaff but around
the women of the story, the “Merry Wives.”
They are the engines that drive the action
of the play, and they seem to relish their
role. The ladies Ford and Page are fiercely
intelligent, witty and yet also seem content
to wield power within their proscribed roles
as wives and mothers. These women provide
a pointed contrast to other hyper-intelligent
Shakespearean women who are often
thwarted and limited by their gendered roles
(Lady Macbeth and “shrewish” Kate come to
mind). In “Merry Wives,” the women find ways
to maneuver in their own, albeit limited, milieu.
They mete out the standards around which
the community rallies and establish the “rules
of combat.” At the end of the play, Falstaff is
welcomed into the community by one of the
wives who can see past his limitations and
embrace him with forgiveness that transcends
his foolishness. It is ultimately that final grace
note that offers the most stirring and heartfelt
moment of the play, in recognizing that
shortcomings are shared by everyone, and that
forgiveness is always possible.

VICE PRESIDENT, GENERAL MANAGER
page 32
Robert Harling
Robert Harling made his directorial debut
with The Evening Star for Paramount, which
he also wrote for the screen based on Larry
McMurty’s novel. The Evening Star reunited
Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson and
co-stars Juliette Lewis, Bill Paxton, Scott Wolf,
Miranda Richardson, and Marion Ross. The
Evening Star is the continuation of one of the
most beloved and acclaimed movies of our
time, Terms of Endearment. Before launching
a successful stage and screenwriting career,
Robert graduated from Tulane University
School of Law, but instead of taking the bar
exam, he opted to become an actor in New
York. After years of productive work as an actor
in voiceovers and commercials, Harling was
inspired to write the highly acclaimed stage
play Steel Magnolias, which was based on
events from his personal life. Steel Magnolias
continues to thrive in theatrical productions
throughout the world. Immediately bridging a
career from stage to screen, Harling adapted
his original play into the popular film of the
same title, which starred Sally Field, Julia
Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis,
Dolly Parton, and Daryl Hannah. Over the years,
Mr. Harling has become a much sought-after
screenwriter: other credits, to name a few,
include Soapdish, [directed by ISF founding
company member Michael Hoffman] which
was based on Harling’s acting experience and
starred Sally Field, Whoopi Goldberg, and
Robert Downey Jr., and First Wives Club for
Paramount, starring Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn,
and Diane Keaton.
The Interview: Robert Harling
Published in Garden and Gun
(www.gardenandgun.com) a national magazine
that focuses on the Southern lifestyle.
By Julia Reed
LOUISIANA —
DECEMBER 2012 / JANUARY 2013
The untold story of Steel Magnolias
Robert Harling grew up in Natchitoches,
Louisiana, and lost his sister and best friend
to diabetes in 1985. He turned the experience
into the iconic stage play Steel Magnolias,
which is still performed all over the world. The
subsequent movie launched Harling’s career as
a screenwriter, and since then he has written
Soapdish and The First Wives Club, among
other hits. On the occasion of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the play’s production, he talks
about how it all began.
You graduated from Tulane’s law school. When
did you realize you wouldn’t be hanging out at
the courthouse all day?
I knew almost after my first week of class that
I’d never inflict myself on the world as a lawyer.
But I stuck with it and graduated because I
loved Tulane, the people, and I had a job as a
singer for a big band that played all the swell
gigs in New Orleans. It was a great life.
By the time you wrote Steel Magnolias, in
1987, you were living on Manhattan’s Upper
West Side. What were you doing for a living?
I was an actor. Auditioning lots, getting little.
I did some commercials and voice-overs. And I
had a job selling tickets for Broadway shows.
Not the most exciting existence.
How long did the play take you to write?
It was written in about ten days. The events that
inspired it were so powerful that, after
I found the story arena, it just poured out
into my typewriter in a 24/7 tsunami of
Southernness. I had no idea what I’d written.
I asked the first person I gave it to if it even
looked like a play. I wasn’t really sure. All I knew
was that I felt it portrayed my sister’s life and
spirit accurately, and that was enough for me.
The play was an instant hit off-Broadway, and
almost immediately you were asked to adapt it
into a screenplay for the 1989 movie.
It happened so quickly. With the buzz around
the play in New York, there was a constant
stream from Hollywood coming to check it out.
Ray Stark bought the rights and promised me
he’d film it in my hometown of Natchitoches,
which really clinched the deal. Almost every
actress in the biz came to the theater to see
it. They had to shut down the street the night
Elizabeth Taylor came, the crowds were so
large. I had tea with Bette Davis, who wanted
to play Ouiser. The movie had premieres in Los
Angeles, Atlanta, New York, and Natchitoches.
That was a surreal week. The New York
premiere was amazing. Ray wanted the biggest
premiere party since The Godfather, and he
got it. It was at the Hilton. They re-created
the wedding set from the movie. I remember
watching my dad in deep conversation with
people like Walter Cronkite… I pinched myself a
lot those days.
How many countries has the play been
performed in, and what are the differences in
the productions?
I know of seventeen authorized translations.
I’m sure there are more. I’ve seen it in Japanese,
Chinese, French, Swedish, Spanish, Italian.
But it’s become clear to me: Beauty shops
are universal. Demonstrating the need for
friendship and support knows no bounds. The
main variable is the set. Some of the foreign
notions of what a converted Southern carport
looks like are mind-blowing. And there was one
Italian production where every character was
hot. Even the two older characters of Ouiser and
Clairee. Smoking hot. The play still worked!
I can only imagine the impact on Natchitoches
when the movie crew and everyone from director
Herbert Ross and his then girlfriend Lee Radziwill
to Dolly Parton and Sam Shepard descended.
Shooting it in Natchitoches was beyond. While I
was hanging out with Sam, one of my idols, he
pointed out to me what a singular experience
it was to write a play about my family and then
have it become a movie filmed in the town
where it happened, in the houses and churches
with the family and friends who inspired it in the
background. The town went nuts in the summer
of ’88. The biggest stars in the world were
squeezing vegetables in the Winn-Dixie. Word
spread like lightning about their every move.
Olympia Dukakis’ cousin Mike was running for
president, so die-hard Republicans across the
street from where she was living put Dukakis
signs in their yards to be neighborly. Princess
Radziwill loved it there. She and Herbert got
engaged during the shoot. Julia [Roberts]
bowled at the bowling alley. Dolly and I drove
around all the drive-ups in search of the best
fried okra.
Where did the cast stay and eat? Did your
mother make her amazing coconut cake?
All the stars rented homes in the area. Tom
Skerritt (who played my movie dad) lived
next door to my real dad. Again, how often
does that happen to a writer? We had a
lot of cookouts and potluck suppers. The
inspiration for Soapdish, my second film,
came from one such dinner when Sally [Field]
said, I’ve always wanted to play a bitch
who gets to wear nice clothes. That simple
thought birthed a huge idea. And yes, Mama
was churning out her coconut cakes as fast
as she could. There was always one on the
counter, one in the oven, and at least one in
the freezer.
Speaking of cake, had you ever seen an
armadillo groom’s cake?
There was indeed an armadillo groom’s cake
at my sister’s wedding. The red velvet part
was my writerly creation. The original one
was very simple sheet cake cut in the shape
of an armadillo. Not like the high art form
it’s become. I’ve seen some amazing edible
armadillos. The New York Times credited me
with the rediscovery and revival of red velvet
cake. I consider this as one of my great life
achievements.
There are so many quotable lines it’s impossible
to count them. Do you have a favorite?
The one that still makes me laugh the most is
when Truvy says of her wayward son,
“I should’ve known Louie had problems when
his imaginary playmates wouldn’t play with
him.” That’s my kind of humor. And when
speaking of Louie’s girlfriend, “the nicest
thing I can say about her is that all her tattoos
are spelled correctly.”
Tell us what the title means to you.
When I was a kid, a lady in the neighborhood
had a large metal floral paperweight on her
kitchen counter that served as a receptacle
for change, keys, it weighed down the check
for the milkman or the dry cleaner receipt (not
that you’d ever need a dry cleaner receipt
in my small town everybody knew who a
dress belonged to), whatever. She called that
thing on her counter the steel magnolia. In
her sweet drawl, she’d say, “Take a quarter
from the steel magnolia and get us some ice
cream.” I found it interesting that the thing
was neither steel nor a magnolia, but that’s
what she called it. And the imagery stuck.
Something beautiful made of very strong
stuff. When I was young, often sent to pluck
a few magnolia blossoms for my mama’s
floral needs, I learned that, while gorgeous,
they are fragile and bruise easily, qualities
often attributed to Southern women. My
extraordinary life experiences with my sister
and mother showed me that the women I’ve
known are indeed gorgeous, but their lives
can be fragile. But if you look underneath,
you realize they possess a tensile strength
stronger than anything I could ever muster.
I wrote of their strength, joy, and laughter
that rang out no matter what life threw at
them. After my sister’s death, the only way
I could deal with it was to celebrate them.
When the play was finished, I needed a
title. In my head, I heard that grand dame’s
voice and the way she pronounced ‘steel
magnolya.” It seemed right. My mother, my
sister, my aunts, the neighbor ladies, I still
hear their glorious voices all the time. I hope
I always will.

This is Aaron’s
fifteenth season with
Idaho Shakespeare
Festival. Aaron
graduated from Boise
State University in
2000 with a BA in
English literature,
and a minor in
philosophy. Shortly
after graduating from
college, Aaron rose
to minor prominence
in the independent
music scene for his
performances of
Sex Pistol songs on
the electric zither.
Aaron soon after
started a musical
collaboration with
his friends Vladimir
and Carlos, experts
on the accordion
and theremin,
respectively. While
the three of them
were on tour in
Kyoto in 2004,
Aaron met his future
wife Mika, whose
bagpipe rendition
of OutKast’s Hey
Ya left an indelible
impression upon
Aaron. Mika joined
Aaron, Carlos and
Vladimir, and together
they launched the
band Promenade
Inferno. They have
since released 4
albums, the latest of
which, Zither This,
placed eighth on the
Peruvian pop charts.
Aaron and Mika’s son
Michael has recently
joined the group,
and together they’re
preparing for their
forthcoming tour of
Upper Mongolia.
This is Cassie’s third
season with the
Festival and she is
thrilled! Cassie is
the staff coordinator
for the Shakespeare
Society. Cassie was
born and raised in
Lexington, Kentucky
and received her
BA in theater from
the University of
Kentucky. She then
moved to Dublin,
Ireland in search
of her Irish roots
and further theater
education at the
Gaiety School of
Acting. Afterwards,
she spent six years
in Los Angeles until
the amazing City
of Trees caught
her fancy. She is
constantly delighted
by her one-year-old
daughter, Stella, her
incredible husband,
Ryan, and their two
cats, Monsieur Pierre
de L’Orange and
Piggy French. Cassie
is so excited to be
with ISF for another
extraordinary season.
In her sophomore
season with ISF, Rose
has enjoyed being
involved in a variety
of departments,
from development
to education, and is
excited to be helping
in the box office this
summer. Rose earned
her BA in history
from The College of
Idaho, and though her
studies were focused
on early-modern
Western Europe, her
fact-checking skills
come in quite handy
for correcting others
at in-opportune
times and solving
daily questions (i.e.
the origins of the
term “kitty-corner”).
This summer Rose
will attempt to keep
a plant alive, go
to as many music
festivals as possible,
and search for
another book worthy
of reading twice.
Favorite pastimes
include collecting
a menagerie of
all things peach
(colored or flavored),
obsessively listing
the finest qualities
of Jennifer Lawrence,
playing with other
people’s puppies, and
taking seasonal trips
to beloved Stanley,
ID. “On Wednesdays
we wear pink.”
This is Kiely’s tenth
season with the
Festival, and her
fourth season as
company manager.
Kiely holds a BA in
English from Boise
State University,
and is on the slow
track for a graduate
degree. Kiely is
incredibly grateful
for the current health
and happiness of
her loved ones. A
few of her favorite
things include: baby
goats, warm lakes,
home improvements,
sweet potato fries,
and working in her
garden. Last May,
Kiely gave birth to a
red-headed Irishman
with a dimple. Talk
about favorite things!
She and her wife,
Jenna, are very much
in love with the
newest addition to
their family. The dogs
and cats like him too.
Kiely looks forward
to a fantastic new
season with ISF, and
another hot summer!

Setting up the cloning
lab was really pretty
easy – it just required
a clean room and
some equipment.
Chandra and her
husband Craig had
no trouble with that
part. Unfortunately,
the technology was
not quite there, and
their plan to clone
William Shakespeare
backfired when,
instead of a clone,
they were presented
with a real-life,
raised from the dead,
Zombie Shakespeare.
Unthinkingly,
they had used the
growth hormone
from their previous
experiments with
opposable thumbed
cats, and the Zombie
grew to unexpected
proportions and
nearly destroyed
Toledo before they
were able to finish
him off. They live
quietly in Idaho now,
Chandra manages
the Box Office,
and ponders this
eternal truth: Zombie
Shakespeare bad.
This is Christine’s
fourteenth year with
the Festival. She
holds a BFA in art
history from Boise
State University
and has 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 is obsessed
with all things
fabric—whether batik,
knitting, or sewing—
there just seems to
be big piles of art
supplies and halfdone projects all over
the home she shares
with husband, Tully,
two kids, and the one
very old cat. Christine
and husband have
pledged that this
will be the year they
try re-growing the
lawn and attending
to the weed-filled
flowerbeds, now
that the tiny fiends
are old enough
to spend hours
circling the block
on scooters trying
to convince all the
other neighborhood
children to join their
gang. Hmm, maybe
they will just dedicate
time to coming up
with a signature
cocktail for the
summer. Life is good,
despite the dead
lawn.

Education & Outreach Programs
School Tours and Workshops
School Residencies and Workshops
The Apprentice Company
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 2014, Shakespearience presented
Romeo and Juliet and ITY presented The
Jabberwocky by Dakotah Brown, Noah
Moody, and Chad Shohet.
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.
Our experienced and lively educators can
teach performance skills, or techniques that
are specific to programs students are working
on in the classroom or on stage. We can even
help your students dive into a full musical
theater experience. Idaho Shakespeare’s
education department can develop a class
that will support any curriculum!
The Festival Apprentice Company is composed
of high school students who have auditioned to
spend their summer receiving hands-on training
in professional theater. Since 1981, more than 400
apprentices and interns have received training.
Apprentices receive over 200 hours of intensive
training in voice, movement, acting and technical
theater. Each year, the Apprentice Company
creates and performs a showcase of their
summer’s work, which includes appearances with
members of the professional company. This year’s
Apprentice Showcase will take place on August 11,
on the Festival stage at 7:00 p.m.
• The Festival is the largest provider of
professional, performing arts outreach in
the State of Idaho.
The Helena Project
2014 Apprentice Company
APPRENTICE INSTRUCTORS
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 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. 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. Takeaway props are also given to each child to
reinforce and solidify the lesson plan and
to encourage ongoing thoughts about the
experience. 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.
• The School of Theater exemplifies the
Festival’s attempts to foster life-long
learning and appreciation of the theater.
“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 ,
• More than 300 Treasure Valley students
attend sessions each year.
Even the most at-risk students can learn
Shakespeare.
• 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.

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.”

Access Program
Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s Access
Program creates 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.
2014 Sign Interpreted performance schedule:
As You Like It, Wednesday, June 11. Interpreted by
Karen Nelson, Holly Thomas-Mowery
Deathtrap, Tuesday, July 15. Interpreted by Holly
Higby, Heather Gibbens

• Student Ticket Discount The Festival
offers discounted tickets to students
with valid ID. Contact the Box Office for
more information.
• Complimentary Tickets The Festival
partners with community groups
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 incomes,
veterans, refugees, and more.
• 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 Festival’s School of Theater to
conduct classes for children receiving
care at St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital.
Through the Access Program, the
Festival is able to offer an inclusive
cultural experience to the broader
Idaho community of the deaf and hardof-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.
The arts are for everyone
Access Program Night: Join us June
11 before the performance for a panel
discussion on the importance of Access to
the community and the Festival’s artists.
For more information on the Access
Program, please contact Jessamine Jones
at [email protected] or

THE BROADWAY MUSICAL INSPIRED BY
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.

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
thank you for welcoming our artists home,
the way only Boiseans do so well.
Many thanks and our heartfelt
appreciation to the members of our
community who are graciously hosting
the 2014 Company.

The Idaho Foundation for Parks and Lands
is a statewide Non-Profit Land Trust
whose mission is to preserve and protect
open space lands and unique natural,
scenic settings for public benefit.
The newest acquisition for the Foundation
was the purchase of the 12 acres adjacent
to Idaho Shakespeare Festival and the
Barber Pool. We are now raising funds
to remediate and complete the purchase
of the property.
“This other Eden, this Demi Paradise,
This fortress built by Nature herself
Against infection and the head of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
If you love the Shakespeare
setting in a natural paradise,
please help with
this newest acquisition.
This precious stone set in a silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm.”

[GUESS the shakespeare play]
the shakespeare
rebus
THEY SAY that Shakespeare’s plays have been translated into
every major language in the world. But we venture to guess the scholarly types
might have missed one—ours. At Foerstel, we spend a good deal of time
communicating in visual expression. So we’ve translated a few of The Bard’s play
titles into a language we’re more familiar with. Can you decode them?
