The Tempest: 2026 Summer Tour
Experience Shakespeare’s shipwrecked masterpiece like never before as The Boise Bard Players bring The Tempest to life in our signature minimalist style. This summer, we are popping up all over the Treasure Valley in unconventional spaces, from historic homes to lush greenhouses, before heading north to Cascade and McCall for the very first time.
We are thrilled to offer free performances in these new communities, ensuring that the magic of Prospero’s island is accessible to everyone. Whether you join us in Boise, Meridian, Caldwell, or the mountains, prepare for a high-energy production that proves the classics belong to the people.
(P.S. We got new outdoor mics—you’ll be able to hear us no matter where you see the show!)
