Celebrate William Shakespeare’s 458th birthday with us!

The Boise Bard Players will be celebrating Shakespeare’s birthday by hosting our Annual Fundraiser on April 23rd at Mad Swede Brewing on Cole Road.

Join us for New Orleans cuisine and birthday cake as we show off what the Boise Bard Players do to bring ancient texts to life.

What’s in it for you? If you win the door prize raffle, you could be walking away with a traditional Mardi Gras King Cake or a signed “Romeo and Juliet” poster.

And it gets better… Our silent auction contains items from community partners, ranging from family experiences to gift baskets galore.

Help us fund our 2022 Season!

We’re committed to producing our 2022 Season, consisting of Romeo and Juliet, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and All’s Well That Ends Well, in unconventional venues like breweries, bars, and backyards.

We know Shakespeare can sound like a foreign language at times, so our goal is to bridge the 400 year gap from Shakespeare’s day to ours by focusing on each and every word in the plays we produce. What we lack in lights, elaborate sets, and fantastical costumes, we make up for in focus on the language—the true star of these plays.

While the Bard’s words are timeless, it takes a considerable amount of work to exceptionally perform them for our times. Help us continue the cultural journey of discovering what Shakespeare means to us today.

Money raised from both the ticket sales to the fundraiser and the sale of silent auction items goes directly to producing our 2022 Season.

Special Thanks

Chicken Po’ Boy Sandwiches

A po’ boy is a traditional sandwich from Louisiana. Chicken (or vegan chicken) is served on New Orleans French bread with mayonaise, tomatoes, lettuce, and an optional spicy sauce.

Pralines

Pralines are a confection with a creamy consistency, similar to fudge. They are made by combining brown sugar, butter, cream or buttermilk, and pecans.
