There aren’t many Boise evenings more magical than an evening at Idaho Shakespeare Festival . As season ticket holders since 1998, it’s been a much-loved part of my family’s life here in Boise for years, and this season is no exception . This season is particularly poignant, as our attendance and support of the Festival, as a community, will also be a celebration that we’re once again able to assemble and share experiences together .

I’m particularly eager to see Henry V this summer, as it is more relevant than ever . Though deeply flawed and all-too-human, Shakespeare’s Henry rises to the occasion of great leadership . As Henry prepares his men right before battle with very long odds, he famously says: “All things are ready if our minds be so .”

Most importantly, he delivers these words after listening to his troops, moving amongst them as a peer and hearing their honest feedback and deepest fears, and preparing plans that recognize that not everything can be known in advance . He knows that, in order to lead them towards victory, he must acknowledge their struggles, honor them as equals, offer a vision towards a shared goal and speak honestly about the challenges and sacrifices he’s asking each of them to make .

As we move through difficult times, against seemingly insurmountable odds, it’s important to remember that there is no perfection, but that communities that thrive — like Henry’s army — are made up of residents willing to come together in common cause to sacrifice, innovate, rebuild and work together toward a shared goal .

And this is what makes Shakespeare — and our Idaho Shakespeare Festival — so magical: the clear crisp night air, the love and laughter in the actors’ storytelling,

Dear Friends,

Welcome! For more than 40 years, the Idaho Shakespeare Festival has delighted audiences with performances old and new .

We encounter acting throughout our day with TV shows, movies, and ads streaming on our many devices . However, there is something special about hearing the voices of actors projected from a stage and seeing bright lights illuminate them as the skies darken above outdoor scaffolding . The flavors of food and drink and the natural scenery of the foothills and Boise River add to the experience . It is a few hours of escape, and only the Idaho Shakespeare Festival offers it .

Your support of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival goes well beyond making a good performance possible . It connects our youth with the magic of theatre through the school tours, summer camps, workshops, and other programs offered through the Idaho Shakespeare Festival . You are supporting talented actors and helping to enrich our lives through arts, culture, and the revival of old, beautiful language .

the joy we each have in reconnecting with others sharing the experience of theater and the timeless lessons great and small, some spanning centuries, from his work that each of us can carry into our lives as citizens, parents, neighbors, and leaders .

Here’s to another season of magic (and wisdom) under the spectacular Idaho stars . (And if we’re blanket neighbors, say hello!)

Welcome to the 44th season of Idaho Shakespeare Festival .

You are in for a special treat of watching excellent, world-class theater ranging from contemporary plays to comedies and tragedies; and, this year, from mysteries and musicals to one of Shakespeare’s English histories set mostly in France .

As you settle into your chairs for this evening’s adventure, I want you to take a few moments to appreciate your

surroundings . What you will see is the “jewel of the west” or, more precisely, an outdoor theater along the Boise River in Idaho’s ever-more metropolitan capital .

The 12-acre Idaho Shakespeare Festival Amphitheater and Reserve has more than doubled its size this year; and continues to sit within the 700-acre Barber Pool Conservation Area . The result of historic timber operations, dating to the turn of the previous century, Barber Pool is one of the largest wildlife refuges in an American city . It is home to hundreds of species of wildlife, fish, and birds, including one of the last active nesting sites of bald eagles in Boise . It sits in the heart of one of the fastest growing urban areas in the country and is under intense pressure from commercial growth and residential development .

Had not my mentors, colleagues, and friends at Boise Cascade realized the value of this corporate holding and donated it to the Idaho Foundation for Parks and Lands in 1978, there certainly would be no Shakespeare Festival here, let alone one of the best native riparian “black cottonwood” forests left in this high-desert region .

While struggling to retain its health, density and genetic diversity, the Barber Pool Conservation Area’s cottonwood canopy continues to serve many biological purposes, including:

• Critical winter habitat for deer;

• An important stop for birds migrating between North and South America;

• Prime roosting sites for osprey, hawks, eagles, migratory vultures, great horned owls, and other large raptors; and

• Nature’s home for more than 300 species of wildlife, up and down the length and breadth of what someone with a Shakespearean mindset might call “the great web of being .”

I highly recommend, on your next trip to the Amphitheater, that you arrive a little early, take an easy stroll along the many paths around the premises and enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of a wildland reclaimed from the middle of an old industrial backyard . We are fortunate to experience this “jewel,” due to the support of loyal patrons, donors, corporate sponsors, and advertisers . We are grateful for their extra support in not only carrying the Shakespeare Festival from year to year, but also protecting and broadening the surrounding horizons for generations to come .

So sit back and take in this beautiful area and enjoy this wonderful theater . Special thanks to those wonderful enough to keep making it all possible .

Kindest regards,

Vernon BanksP R E S I D E N T

MESSAGE FROM CHARLES FEE PRODUCING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Dear Friends,

It is July 20 and, unlike the letters in

the previous pages of this program,

this greeting comes to you with the

benefit of hindsight . Considering the

three-phased cancellation of the

2020 season of Idaho Shakespeare

Festival — now complete amid the

current spike of COVID-19 to record

levels — we felt it important to publish

this edition of our annual program

as a way of memorializing the artists and plays that would have graced our

audiences; and to recognize the extraordinary generosity of the Festival’s

sponsors, annual fund members, corporations, public entities, board of trustees,

and thousands of patrons who have remained steadfast in their support of our

company even in this “year without summer .”

In my previous 28 seasons as Producing Artistic Director, we have faced some

challenging times . A trifecta of painful events occurred just after we completed

the first season in the Amphitheater and Reserve in 1998: the dot-com bubble,

the nightmare of the 9/11 attacks, and the recession of 2001 . Next up was the

subprime mortgage crisis and then the great recession starting in 2008 . And,

of course, over the years we have faced enough rain, wind, hail, lightning and

smoke to supply several productions of King Lear and The Tempest . Through all

of it, we continued to create our work; and, most important, through all of it,

YOU have been there for us . You are our champions and cheerleaders . You are

our “Never say NO-ers .” Donning rain ponchos and garbage bags, helping dry

off the stage so the company could play the second act, huddled in sleeping

bags against the coldest spring openings and most crisp fall closings, you were

there with a thunderous “YES!” when we asked if you “still wanted to go on?”

…in the rain, or the wind, or the pitch dark night (when we had no electricity

and the actors kept on playing until they couldn’t see the colleagues they were

addressing) . You, moreover, have always been there with extreme generosity:

building the amphitheater, supporting education, and keeping the payroll rolling

through even the deepest of fiscal downturns .

A

But nothing compares to the devastating effects of the pandemic with which we

are in the midst of coping now . Coronavirus is unlike any other crisis we have

faced for the simple reason that for the first time in the history of our company

we cannot produce any plays — not a single performance . We cannot put any

actors onstage, and cannot invite our audience into the amphitheater . For the

first time in our artistic lives, we are experiencing something that was all too

common for Shakespeare’s company: the total shut down of theater due to

pestilence . As also was true of Shakespeare’s company, this pandemic will not be

the end of Idaho Shakespeare Festival .

I truly hope you understand how hard we tried to overcome the obstacles this

season . We took our time announcing the closings of each of our productions

because we wanted to hold onto the possibility that circumstances might change

in our favor . We were given every possible assistance by our community, our

health services, our public officials, our board of trustees, and you! Many,

many people donated their tickets back to help us get by . Our loyal sponsors

stood by us, and their commitments to support us, even when we cancelled

the entire season . Our public funding sources rallied to assist all of us in the

arts, understanding that this crisis will have a profound impact on every arts

organization and that some may not survive . The Festival’s annual membership

rosters have grown in the months since we have been shut-down .

Because of your support, ISF will survive to produce another season . We

consider this summer an intermission in our 43-year, nearly-unbroken history

of production . We look forward to welcoming you back into the amphitheater in

2021 for our next season of great theater in the great outdoors .

Until then, from every member of the Festival family, know that you have our

deepest gratitude .

Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks; but I thank you dear friends… — H A M L E T

Sincerely,

Charlie

SPOTLIGHT: An Insider’s Guide To Much Ado About Nothing

PLAYNOTES1599 was an eventful year in the professional life of the player William Shakespeare (1564-1616). Shakespeare helped to open a new theater, parted ways with a longtime collaborator, and penned accomplished plays in three different genres: Much Ado About Nothing, The Life of Henry the Fifth, and The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. He was 35 that year and working at full stride.

Shakespeare had likely come to London from his native Stratford a decade earlier, quickly making his way into the theater world in the capital city. By 1592, he was already being mentioned as the envy of rival writers in a pamphlet entitled Greene’s Groat’s-worth of Wit. Two years later, he had become a core shareholder in a theater company that formed, in 1594, under the patronage of Henry Carey, Queen Elizabeth’s cousin and Lord Chamberlain. By 1599, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men were successful enough that they were able to erect their own purpose-built playhouse, the Globe Theatre, on the south bank of the Thames River.

Two parameters provide an approximate date for Much Ado About Nothing. It had not yet been written, or at least performed, by September 7, 1598, when clergyman and schoolmaster Francis Meres entered his commonplace book, Palladis Tamia, for publication in the Stationers’ Register. Among various literary musings, Meres famously included a list of Shakespeare’s plays to date and declared that the up and coming writer’s work was “most excellent” in comedy and tragedy. Much Ado About Nothing was not mentioned.

And yet the play had to have been performed before 1600. It featured the last known role that Shakespeare created for one of the “fan favorites” of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, Will Kempe. A master of broad physical comedy, Kempe also originated such roles as Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Kempe’s name appeared in the stage directions in the First Quarto edition of Much Ado, sometimes in place of the name of his character, Constable Dogberry. He had already made a name for himself with Leicester’s Men and Lord Strange’s Men, before he joined forces with the Lord Chamberlain’s Men as a core shareholder. Though he’d been involved in planning the move to the Globe Theatre, a falling out occurred and he may never have performed in the new house after it opened in fall 1599. In February and March of 1600, he was out on his own doing a solo celebrity stunt—dancing or “jigging” the distance from London to Norwich (more than 100 miles) in nine days.

Booksellers Andrew Wise and William Aspley registered Much Ado About Nothing, along with Henry IV, Part 2, with the Stationers’ Company, on August 23, 1600. Circa 1600, Aspley was also printing au courant plays by a witty group of “frenemy” writers who were satirizing each other at that time in the so-called “War of the Theatres”: Ben Jonson, John Marston, and Thomas Dekker. A shrewd literary

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

No record of the first performance of Much Ado About Nothing (ca. 1599) has survived. But the play is known to have been presented twice at the court of King James during the festivities that led up to the marriage of the king’s daughter Elizabeth to Frederick V, Elector Palatine, in 1613.

Much Ado About Nothing was registered for publication on August 23, 1600, by a printer who later became a junior partner in the publication of Shakespeare’s collected works, referred to by scholars as the First Folio, in 1623.

businessman, Aspley would leverage his rights to the two Shakespeare plays he co-published to become a junior partner in the publication of the First Folio, which compiled of Shakespeare’s works in 1623.

Much Ado About Nothing would have been an appealing, and even quintessential, Shakespearean property. The principal plotline of trickery, false accusations, and restoration of harmony is pinned to a pair of young lovers and played out in verse. It was the kind of story that fueled many a 16th Century Italian romance and found its way to Shakespeare through French and English translations. But Shakespeare embroidered the basic Italian romance tale with two comic plotlines of his own invention: the sparring and wooing of a more mature couple—Benedick and Beatrice—in the witty style of English writer John Lyly in Euphues: The Anatomy of Wyt, and the maladroit bumblings of an assemblage of English “clowns.” Both of the “English” plotlines are spun out in prose. Motifs of trickery and deception weave the plotlines together. The “nothing” of the play’s title can refer in a punning way to the act of “noting” or overhearing the gossip and rumor that nearly drive the young lovers apart and, almost absurdly, bring their older counterparts together.

Flashes of many other Shakespeare plays—both comedies and tragedies—can be glimpsed in Much Ado About Nothing: Dogberry’s crew calls to mind Bottom’s “rude mechanicals” in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Don John’s plot against the innocent Hero reverberates with the “motiveless malignity” of Iago, the false accusations against Desdemona, and the shocking cruelty of Othello. The “cursed” and shrewish Katharine in The Taming of the Shrew is a kindred spirit to Much Ado’s Beatrice.

But the character of Beatrice holds a special place in Shakespeare’s work. She has no father to make decisions for her, to control, restrict or impede her.

Mrs. Hannah Pritchard was the first to play Beatrice opposite David Garrick at the Drury Lane in 1748.

Mrs. Frances Abington stepped in as Beatrice opposite David Garrick’s celebrated Benedick at the end of his career in 1775.

Fanny Kemble, made an attractive impression as Beatrice in the 1820s and 1830s.

Helen Faucit took over the role in 1836, when she was 19, and played Beatrice for 43 years—until 1879.

Ellen Terry’s star was rising as Helen Faucit was bowing out. Returning to the role several times between 1870 and 1903, she played a Beatrice of formidable intelligence.

Dame Judi Dench is just one of the many powerful women of the 20th Century who rose to the challenge of playing Beatrice in this acclaimed 1976 RSC production.

SYNOPSISThe primary plot of Much Ado About Nothing turns on the courtship and scandal involving young Hero and her suitor, Claudio, but the witty war of words between Claudio’s friend Benedick and Hero’s cousin Beatrice often takes center stage.

Set in Messina, the play begins as Don Pedro’s army returns after a victory. Benedick, a gentleman soldier, resumes a verbal duel with Beatrice, the niece of Messina’s governor, Leonato. Count Claudio is smitten with Leonato’s daughter, Hero. After Don Pedro woos her in disguise for Claudio, the two young lovers plan to marry in a week. To fill in the time until the wedding, Don Pedro and the others set about tricking Benedick and Beatrice into falling in love with each other. Meanwhile, Don Pedro’s disgruntled brother, Don John, plots to ruin Hero and halt her wedding. Claudio believes Don John’s deception, is convinced Hero has a lover, and, at the wedding, brutally rejects her.

With Hero in hiding and falsely reported dead, Beatrice persuades Benedick to fight Claudio. Tragedy is averted when the bumbling city watch, having discovered Don John’s treachery, arrives and clears Hero’s name. With Claudio forgiven, both couples are ready to get married.

— F O L G E R S H A K E S P E A R E L I B R A R Y

Her comic arc is driven by character, not by the conventional task of overcoming external obstacles. She and Benedick grow in knowledge of self and each other; they encounter each other honestly, as equals, and work together for a common end. The result is one of Shakespeare’s most satisfying and sparkling comedies.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

THROUGH THE AGES

Kenneth Branagh’s film version of Much Ado About Nothing was one of the most financially successful Shakespeare films ever released.

Actor-manager David Garrick first revived Much Ado About Nothing in 1748. He played Benedick throughout his life—opposite several Beatrices, including Mrs. Hannah Pritchard and Mrs. Frances Abington.

Benedick was one of John Gielgud’s signature roles. He returned to the role again and again from 1931 to 1959, when he played opposite Margaret Leighton at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York.

No evidence survives for the play’s debut performance ca. 1599, but after King James took over the patronage of Shakespeare’s company, the King’s Men were invited to perform Much Ado About Nothing at court during the winter before the marriage of the King’s daughter Elizabeth to Frederick V, Elector Palatine, which took place on February 14, 1613.

1748 1959

Actor-manager Henry Irving and Ellen Terry have been accounted one of the best matched as Benedick and Beatrice.

They began playing the roles in the 1870s.1870s

The play was still popular in the 1640s, when Shakespeare eulogist Leonard Digges wrote, “[…] let but Beatrice / And Benedick be seen, lo in a trice / The Cockpit galleries, boxes, all are full.” However, after the Restoration and reopening of the theaters in 1660, the rights to Much Ado About Nothing were assigned to William Davenant. He merged it into a mashup with Measure for Measure, and Much Ado About Nothing disappeared from view for almost a century.

While not the first to revive the play, David Garrick, the legendary actor-manager, brought it into the limelight that it has enjoyed ever since. Garrick played Benedick all his life—for the first time in 1748 and for the last time in 1776.

Henry Irving and Ellen Terry were among the most evenly matched actors to play Benedick and Beatrice in the 19th Century. They returned to the play several times between 1878 and 1902.

Like David Garrick, John Gielgud also made Benedick one of his signature roles. Between 1931 and 1959, he played the part numerous times, opposite Diana Wynyard, Peggy Ashcroft, and Margaret Leighton.

Kenneth Branagh brought the play to a wide audience with his 1993 film version, starring himself as Benedick, his then-wife Emma Thompson as Beatrice, Denzel Washington as Don Pedro, Keanu Reeves as Don John, Michael Keaton as Dogberry, and Kate Beckinsale in her film debut as Hero.

Idaho Shakespeare Festival has produced Much Ado About Nothing five times—once at The Plantation directed by Eloise Bruce (1981), twice at ParkCenter directed by Douglas Jacobs (1989) and Charles Fee (1994), and thrice at Barber Pool directed by Drew Barr (2001/2002), Sharon Ott (2013), and Mr. Fee this year.

Idaho Shakespeare Festival has already presented Much Ado About Nothing in four summer seasons since Charles Fee has been at the helm as producing artistic director. That’s not surprising since, as Fee confesses, “It’s my very favorite Shakespeare comedy.” Given his enthusiasm for this “perfect play,” it is not at all surprising that the current production marks his second time directing it himself.

He’s eager for its playful challenges and for the “spectacular” roles that the play provides for the acting company. While the play wields the conventional trappings of a romantic comedy—the obstacles, disguises, and mistaken identities—what really resonates for Fee is its authenticity, its “depth of expression, of relationships, of character. There’s so much to explore.” As he observes, “The young lovers don’t know anything about each other. They have no experience of love, of each other. They don’t know what they can believe about each other. They’re easily manipulated by false information—today’s ‘fake news.’ In contrast, Beatrice and Benedick have a past history. They already ‘know’ each other. They’re also tricked,

but they’re not naïve. They fall in love by learning the truth of each other.”

Fee is particularly intrigued with the fact that Beatrice accomplishes in her own person what many other Shakespeare heroines can only accomplish while disguised as a man. “She’s autonomous. And as a woman without parents, she has so much more freedom in her cultural context.” Seeking a time period that could accommodate and encapsulate that emerging sense of freedom for women, Fee was attracted to the 1920s.

He tasked set designer Jeff Herrmann with creating a scenic environment that retained the play’s Italian setting but reimagined it within a 20th Century context. They decided that a bright color palette—and an abundance of lush bougainvillea flowers—would capture the physical sensation of the sunny south of Italy at the same time that it could embody a postwar sense of release, a longing for carefree fun. “The men are soldiers, coming home from a war they recently won,” says Herrmann. “Now love is in the air.”

The play goes to a dark place for a time, when the connection between the young lovers is all but destroyed. In a way that parallels their journey from light through darkness and back to light again, stage lighting is another tool that can help to transform the color palette and in turn to restore it.

Consistent with the play’s overall comic spirit, Fee has asked that the production’s scenic environment deliver the possibility for playfulness. Physical comedy requires a fast pace. “We’re providing lots of ways for the actors to get on and off stage quickly,” Herrmann promises. He articulates his task by asking a series of questions, “How can we use the set physically to allow actors to hide, eavesdrop, make asides? What can we turn or change physically to create other locations when we need them? And how can we make those changes in fun and surprising ways?” Playful energy, director and designer agree, is the paramount goal.

DIRECTOR’S NOTEI remember seeing Ain’t Misbehavin’ while I was a senior at Union Catholic Boys High School in 1980. It was like nothing I’d ever seen. My mom took me to see Chorus Line first, then Chicago, and then The Wiz. Then I went by myself to see Ain’t Misbehavin’ in the standing room section and I couldn’t believe the music, the voices, and the dancing!!! There was no book! It blew my mind. I thought for it to be a good musical, there must be a book. This was way before jukebox musicals were common. Then I got to be in it. I did it in New Jersey with all white people and played Ken. Then I did another production right after with an African American cast and played Andre. It is probably the hardest show I have ever performed in. Learning the music, with all

Community. It’s a simple concept, in a complex world. At a time in which a pandemic has shown no discrimination to the communities it affects, it is also what we need now

more than ever. Men and women rallying toward a simple cry of hope and love.

Dillabaugh’s is proud to join an elite group of organizations to support the Idaho Shakespeare Festival as we understand the power of community. The abundance of good that resides in the Treasure Valley leaves us humbled and blessed, yet obedient to the tremendous responsibility as a steward to our community. We are sincerely grateful for your 38 years of support of our locally-owned business and as such consider it a joyous responsibility to join in support of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival as a Season Partner.

When our family attends the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, we experience a wide range of emotions; these emotions range from delight to being able to spend an evening with friends, to an awestruck wonder at the level of professionalism of the cast and crew, to genuine happiness at a comedy or guttural sadness of a tragedy. Ultimately, after every experience, there is one emotion that sticks with us every time: gratitude. We are grateful for the various talents our Creator has given us to share, for the relationships He’s given us to cherish, and for the community in which we reside. May we all appreciate the little things, a lot more.

Sincerely,Casey DillabaughP R E S I D E N T

the intricate harmonies, and then the choreography that never stops!!  Then I got to direct and choreograph it, and it was even harder. Keeping all the balls in the air. But, the thing that was universal in all my productions was the audience’s response to Fats Waller’s music. It starts, and slowly gets into ears, and then it moves through the body. By the second act he captures your soul!  No book needed. I hope you experience what I did!

Enjoy Fats!

As I write this we are entering our sixth week of WFH. I’ve always been one to look for the silver lining, to trust in the balance of the universe and

know that good things come from difficult transitions and adversity.

The measures put in place to combat the spread of the coronavirus have revealed the value of many aspects of my life that I have taken for granted. A perfect example is our amazing Idaho Shakespeare experience — the shared pleasure of live entertainment in a beautiful outdoor setting, and the relaxed, casual social interactions as I meet and catch up with friends before and after the play.

With renewed appreciation for the many things, large and small, that make life joyful and enriching, I’m hoping that we will have the opportunity again this summer to enjoy Shakespeare under the stars in this unique and amazing venue.

DIRECTOR’S NOTEIn the spirit of economy and invention we present our version of HENRY V to you. Economy, in a theatrical sense, means this: how much can we do and how little can we do it with? As for invention: that’s where you meet us half way — but more of that in a moment.  With 15 actors we will represent the play’s 50 characters — our actors will defy age and gender to inhabit this world. We will travel to England, to France; we will present battlefields and taverns; we will span years of “history” in less than 3 hours, and we will do it all embracing the overt theatricality that Shakespeare’s HENRY V demands.

Shakespeare was aware of how impossibly epic this play was to produce and perform; so he employs metatheatricality as a way to solve it. Meaning, the players acknowledge that they are doing a play. It’s an essential device in a show that has so many demands in its story telling. By naming the fact that the play is a play, it allows Shakeapeare’s Chorus to ignite the imagination of the playgoers (yes, you) and asks for a little help along the way: 

O for a muse of fire, that would ascendThe brightest heaven of invention,A kingdom for a stage, princes to act,And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!

And then:

Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts.Into a thousand parts divide one manAnd make imaginary puissance.Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them… 

Right out of the gate the audience is being told “we do not have every literal element we need to tell this story, but we are going to tell it anyway”; and what is especially wonderful about this frame, is that it invites you — our ever loyal audience; to “piece out our imperfections with your thoughts”; which is to say, “meet us half way with your imaginations”. What an exciting charge to have as an audience!

SO, come meet us half way, with your imaginations, embracing the spirit of invention, and go on this journey with us. You are, after all, always the final and most important part of our creation.

DIRECTOR’S NOTEI have a confession to make — I have a crush on Emma. No, not the novel (which I very much enjoy), and not the various film adaptations (I especially love the new release); my overwhelming crush has been on the title song from Paul Gordon’s lush and beautifully crafted musical adaptation of Jane Austin’s Emma. I first heard the song at a New York presentation for the National Alliance of Musical Theatre — Brian d’Arcy James was the singer. It was breathtaking — literally. The honesty of those simple, soul-baring lyrics interwoven with the most beautiful melody instantly grabbed my heart. I immediately got a copy of the song and began offering it to some of my strongest student tenors; as lovely as they would sing it, I realized that Emma required more than just a beautiful voice to achieve its magic — it required an experienced heart, one that had weathered the depths of love and loss and was still willing to risk the pain of it all again when they finally recognized their “friend” was actually their soul mate. That very specific moment of recognition opens such a flood of longing brilliantly captured in Paul’s exquisitely simple lyrics:

And if I never hold youIf I never touch youIf I never have the chance to quiteExpress what I’m most hopeful ofThen I will never know love

Will never know joyWill never know what it’s like To stroke your skinWhat is this endless dance we’re in?

So, can any classic novel be turned into a musical? I’m going to vote highly unlikely. What made Emma

JANE AUSTEN’S

EMMAMUSIC, LYRICS AND BOOK BY

PAUL GORDON Emma—A Musical Romantic Comedy was originally produced by TheatreWorks, Palo Alto, CA, and was developed through TheatreWorks New Works Initiative

Orchestrations by Brad Haak, Paul Gordon and Brian Allan Hobbs

Jane Austen’s Emma is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

sing to composer Paul Gordon? Why this particular collaboration with Jane Austen’s heroine? Paul observed:

“When I first considered turning Emma into a musical, I pondered the idea carefully before running to the piano. Having seen several film versions and read the novel, I wanted to make sure it had an inherently musical ethos simply beyond being a “period piece.” It soon became apparent that not only did these characters sing, but they sang quite effortlessly.

When I started to create the score, I didn’t necessarily determine in advance what style the music would be written in. I mostly let the story guide me, and I tried to take my cues from the characters themselves. It all felt quite natural. What has emerged, I hope, is a sound tinged with my early influence, Lennon and McCartney (leaning toward George Martin’s alluring strings to ‘Eleanor Rigby’) and of course the amazing Stephen Sondheim who, simply by listening to his genius, has taught me everything I know about writing for the theatre.”

For many readers, Pride and Prejudice might be their first encounter with Jane Austen. Yet most critics and scholars agree that Emma, her fourth novel, is Austen’s true masterpiece (published as “by the author of Pride and Prejudice to protect her reputation). The musical Emma celebrates the intimate collaboration of two artists, Jane Austen and Paul Gordon, who, though they lived in different centuries, different countries and experienced very different lives, found the ultimate human connection of the heart. Emma is a true labor of love for all of us.

In what has been a very difficult year, we’re thankful for the arts in our community. Oscar Wilde said, “I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.”

As we write this, we don’t know if there will be an Idaho Shakespeare Festival this year. If the season is cancelled, we will be bitterly disappointed, and yet, we know it will be the right decision. If the season proceeds, we’ll celebrate the return to normalcy and revel in a summer evening with the stage before us and the open sky above.

We are fortunate to live in communities throughout the Treasure Valley where the Idaho way means supporting each other through hard times, and celebrating together when we come out the other side. 

Your Idaho Statesman is proud to be a supporter of the Treasure Valley arts community. We thank the Idaho Shakespeare Festival and we look forward to a future filled with theatre and sharing our humanity and our stories with each other.

As I write this, we’re in the third day of our twenty-one day “stay at home” order. But print deadlines as they are, I’m finding my pocked and dusty crystal ball lacking

in resolution. It’s easy to imagine smiling crowds and friends and performers, laughter and sunsets and stars; all those things embodied by our Idaho Shakespeare Festival and the very reasons for which 94.9 the River has been a decades-long media sponsor. While it seems distant just now, I know that when the next season comes – and it will come – that it will be all the richer for our shared understanding that things most cherished are unexpectedly fragile.

Here’s to that new season.

Lear from a few years back). If you believe he looks familiar, you probably saw him this past fall coming off of his third year as Front of House Manager at Boise Contemporary Theater, where he is also the Volunteer Coordinator. Regardless of where the wind takes him, he will always try to have art in his life. That’s why he’s so grateful for this opportunity to serve this wonderful, creative community he calls home. Much love to Mom, Dad, Brian, and all friends who have been a part of this crazy journey we call life.

Taylor Davis

Grounds and Facilities ManagerThis is Taylor’s seventh season with the Festival.

with the outdoors. Taylor can be found throughout the summer exploring the foothills, local rivers, and any open garden within the Treasure Valley.

He is very excited for the upcoming season and the new experiences it will bring.

Dale Hartwell

Development AssistantAs the 2020 Season takes off, Dale is excited to embark on her ninth season with the Festival and her third as development assistant. Theater and art have always had a strong presence in her life, and since graduating from The College of Idaho (Go Yotes!) with her Bachelor of Arts she has found herself working throughout the arts community

in which she grew up. When not working, this native Idahoan can be found adventuring in the mountains with her partners-in-crime, Troy, Braiden, and the pups (Pepper and Cassius), attempting to learn how to crochet, helping to fold 1,000 paper cranes for her sister’s summer wedding, collecting all things purple, and surrounded by family and friends (preferably on a patio). Lots of love and a tremendous “Thank You” to her family for instilling and encouraging her love of art.

Samantha McAllister

Box Office ManagerThis is Samantha’s sixth season with Idaho Shakespeare Festival! Samantha moved to Boise in 2010 and graduated cum laude with a BA in theater arts with a performance emphasis in 2013 from Boise State University.

Christine ZimowskyGrants & Development AssociateChristine is the Festival grant writer in her 20th season with ISF and holds a

BFA in art history from Boise State University. In her free time, she putters around her yard collecting all the raspberries, cherry tomatoes, and cut flowers her tiny garden provides, while applying the least amount of effort possible for such tiny summer treasures. She is an obsessive knitter and dabbler in all things fiber—from sewing, weaving, to spinning.

This summer, Christine—always cultivating new hobbies—plans to perfect the art of “deck-sitting” “cocktail mixing” and “contemplation” while recovering from the shock of having a teenager, reaching her semi-centennial (e-gads!), and securing a partnership with husband Tully, for 25 years this spring! Life would be very different had she not walked into that silly aesthetics class senior year of college, eh? She also sends large loves to Augustine and Sevy, the messiest masterpieces she ever created. Momma couldn’t be more proud of her forever complicated works of art.

Founded in 2012, Classical Revolution:Boise has collaborated with many Boise institutions, including 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.

The Frim Fram 4:

The Frim Fram 4, based in Boise, Idaho, specializes in the classic tunes of the ’30s through the early ’60s. Their original instrumentation reflected that of the Nat King Cole trio, relying on vocals, piano, stand-up bass, and the exciting new sound of the electric guitar. Dr. Andrew Cortens on piano, Jonah Shue on electric guitar and violin, Greg Belzeski on drums and congas, Richard Aguirre on standup bass, and everyone joining in on vocals. (Old-school “gang singing” lives!) Their dedication to the musical style of the period has made them the most universally beloved musical group in Boise. Since 2001, the Frim Fram 4 has been entertaining audiences every Thursday night from 8:45 to midnight at Pengilly’s Saloon. While being the initial launch pad of this Space Age ensemble, Thursday night at Pengilly’s has gained such a following and notoriety that it was chosen as one of the Sexiest Places in the World to take and, yes, plant a smooch on a date by Cosmopolitan Magazine. frimfram4.com, [email protected]

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 2020, Shakespearience presented Richard III, directed by long time Festival actor, Laura Welsh Berg. ITY presented Sword Song: A New Arthurian Legend, written by Dwayne Blackaller and directed by ISF director of education, Veronica Von Tobel.

• 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 middle and high school students in communities across the United States. This is the 18th 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.

• Through its school tours, the Festival annually reaches 50,000 school-age 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 Washington, eastern Oregon and northern Nevada.

• Since its inception in 1986, Shakespearience has enriched the lives of more than 1,000,000 students.

School of Theater

In 2020, Shakespearience presented Richard III, directed by long time Festival actor, Laura Welsh Berg. ITY presented Sword Song: A New Arthurian Legend, written by Dwayne Blackaller and directed by ISF director of education, Veronica Von Tobel.

• The School of Theater exemplifies the Festival’s attempts to foster lifelong 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, perform, build esteem and, most importantly, 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. Takeaway props also are 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 , M D

Even the most at-risk students can learn Shakespeare and explore their imagination thanks to this unique 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.

This season the Festival is proud to offer Realtime Captioning on every Signing Shakespeare evening. Available on your personal device (smart phone or tablet).

2020 SIGN-INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE

May 27 Much Ado About Nothing Steve Snow, Holly Thomas-Mowery, & Sarah Spellman

June 16 Ain’t Misbehavin’ Holly Higby & Karen Nelson

July 7 Henry V Fran Bennett & LaVona Andrew

August 6 Emma Jill Radford, Fran Bennett, & Sarah Spellman

September 15 Sleuth Steve Snow, Holly Thomas-Mowery, & LaVona Andrew

Student Ticket Discount The Festival offers discounted tickets to students with valid ID. Contact the Box Office for more information at 208-336-9221.

Complimentary Tickets The Festival partners with community groups and social service organizations that serve people who face a number of constraints. Together, we bring these patrons to the theater free of charge. Groups include at-risk youth, elderly on fixed incomes, veterans, refugees, and many others.

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 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 at-risk youth; and engage newly-arrived immigrants with the language and culture of their new home.

For more information on the Access Program, please contact Carly Oppie at [email protected] or 208-429-9908 ext. 207.

The Festival would like to thank our generous donors that make this program possible:

Holly Thomas-Mowery and LaVona Andrews, ASL Interpreters

Shakespeare’s Humble HostsSince its first season, ISF has relied on the generous and big-hearted Boise community to provide a summer home for each of our visiting artists and company members. 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. As the company has grown, we continue to rely most heavily on the Humble Hosts, while also coming to rely on apartment rentals for many of our visiting artists, as well. 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 2019 Fundraising Gala to support apartment rentals. As the Humble Hosts 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 person crafting our summer stage offerings. The Humble Hosts 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 $1,000 and support one of our visiting artists for a month of that most fundamental of daily cares—a place to rest and call “home.” Your gift helps cover the apartment as well as the furnishings. ISF will, on your behalf, provide your name and a welcome package as each guest arrives 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 2019 Gala toward housing costs:

It is the lark that sings so out of tune. Straining harsh

discords and unpleasing sharps. Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet

John the Shakespeare Video Volunteer

Home to Showcase19 MinutesI 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.

In 2002, Idaho Shakespeare Festival in Boise and Great Lakes Theater in Cleveland conceived a unique, strategic producing alliance designed to maximize return on organizational investments, increase production efficiencies, create long-term work opportunities for artists and share best practices.

In 2010, Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival in Incline Village, Nevada, joined the collaboration—further contributing to the momentum of the revolutionary producing prototype’s success.

The long-term results have been remarkable. The alliance’s three independent, 501(c)(3) regional theaters have shared more than 50 jointly created productions—each featuring long-term, multi-city employment opportunities for artistic company members. Led by a unified management team (artistic director, executive director, production manager, etc.) and supported by a single production staff (scenic, costume, properties, etc.)—this revolutionary producing model has realized its vision and exceeded expectations while simultaneously resulting in notable audience growth for each company.
