30 Years of Shakespeare in Idaho

0-87004-456-7


Doug Copsey has written a conversational, intimate, thorough and artful book about the remarkable evolution of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. The book is a testament to the hard work, dedication and vision of those intrepid actors, directors and technicians who founded a theater that has survived and prevailed for three decades. No one has more insight and experience than Copsey as the Festival's founding director. Allowing the actors, directors, staff and audience members to have their say adds immediacy and authenticity to this valuable record of the mighty few who saw an opportunity and created art.
--Alan Minskoff, Director of Journalism Albertson College of Idaho



It’s one of the state’s treasures! Since 1977 the Festival has brought thousands of Idahoans to see the magical plays of William Shakespeare, and has grown to be recognized by its peers worldwide.
--Governor Dirk Kempthorne



The Festival Amphitheater & Reserve is a truly unique environment: a place where human creativity coexists with nature’s artistry, set against the picturepostcard backdrop of the Boise Foothills and alongside the river that is the very lifeblood of our community. God is an amazing set designer, and this is without question some of his finest work.
--Mayor David Bieter

The bottom line is the Idaho Shakespeare Festival has proven itself as one of the strongest in the country. Considering its size, that's a formidable achievement.
--Dana Oland, Arts & Culture Reporter, The Idaho Statesman
