Local performers are the cast. If you are anything but a senior citizen, you might be the only one under 55. Seats are a little weary. Stages tend to be simple.

This theatre is very cute and has a nice layout that's easy to navigate where you're going.. I also appreciate the bar with a fair selection of canned drinks and they do a couple themed drinks for the shows. One is typically an Italian soda that can be be made with a shot of vodka or nonalcoholic. I think it would serve them well to add a 3rd option for themed cocktails but I can see why they want to keep it simple for the bar employees who get quite busy on show nights. One down fall is they have no food concessions whatsoever. They put out a small plate of store bought cookies at the bar for intermission but they go super fast... and they are just the Keebler cookies so really nothing all that special so be sure to eat before you come here. The shows they put on are great quality especially the one my fiancé and I went to most recently.. Santa Clause conquers the martians! It's honestly the BEST stage prodution I've seen thus far and I've seen A LOT of amazing theatre productions!! I got a great deal for this show as I volunteered for a day here recently at the box office. When you volunteer they'll give you a free show ticket. I'm not sure if I'll volunteer as a box office attendant here again... while I overall enjoyed it, things did get overwhelming up front at one point and I needed assistance from my supervisor who was helping out at the bar. She definitely gave me a hard time for that after my volunteer shift was up but I do understand her frustration with me, I can't blame her for wanting everything to run smoothly when i forgot how to do a couple tasks that she showed me during training. I recommend being a volunteer for community theatre but unless you are very tech savvy, I'd suggest volunteering as an usher at Boise Little Theater instead as that's much easier and you can still see a show for free. Overall it's a great playhouse and I look forward to returning in the new year!

What was not awesome this evening was the people that were allowed to enter several minutes late, 6 or 7 of them, Row R or S and sitting pretty much in the middle. The other was people with children not ready for an evening performance, talking through most if the first half, or walking around, very distracting! This IS what the matinee is for, getting them accustomed to being at the ballet. If they can sit quietly for 45 minutes at a time, do nit bring them to an evening performance! Again, to all those who performed, thank you for allowing us to enjoy such beauty!

The event center is beautiful and so big! We sat towards the back half of the event center and it was so nice being able to see the screen and stage. Regardless at how tall the person in front of me was, the staggering of the seats didn't block my view. I'm pretty sure no matter where you are sitting, it's still a great seat. There was a 20 minute intermission for the singer and band members to take a break. Of course we headed to concessions to grab a drink. It was nice how they had it set up. The line went really fast and guests were being helped at a great pace. We were able to get our goodies and head back to our seats pretty quickly. I know there are a lot of events that happen here. I need to be more proactive and see what they are. The venue is so pretty here. The seating is comfortable and nice. It was cool to have my first experience at the Morrison Center tonight. I look forward to coming back again soon for another one.

It was a big, long show to put on for a cast that was clearly a mix of inexperienced and experienced theater performers, simple dance routines, inconsistent pacing, and cheaper sets, but they really gave it their all and carried it the whole way, along with a pre-recorded soundtrack that everyone timed with very well. The drinks and food are cheap compared to my home town (Chicago), staff very welcoming and nice seats with wide aisles. It's great to see whole families coming to the theater and engaging well, which is critical to any community.

Whether you're attending one of their larger performances like The Nutcracker at the Morrison Center, or something intimate like New Dance at their rehearsal space, you'll get magnificent, emotive entertainment from these talented folks. Personally, I like their traditional shows, but New Dance holds a special place in my heart. Combining dance vignettes along a central theme, Ballet Idaho pulls in numbers from international artists and counterbalances them with local choreographers. The last New Dance I attended was Form and Concept. They wove video components between dance numbers and the segment Particles had my eyes swelling with tears. Ballet Idaho's support staff is welcoming, informative and clearly passionate about the role traditional dance plays in a community. For those who have yet to attend a Ballet Idaho performance, or don't know if they like ballet, I say do it. Do yourself a favor and become a patron of a fine Boise institution. Your community and your cultured self will thank you!

They are basically spoofs of well known movies or theater productions, and we were there to see a special encore performance of "Scrooge: Older but Miser". The setting is small and intimate, compared to performances at the Morrison Center or Nampa Civic, but it's still big enough to accommodate large groups. The performers and the playhouse staff are extremely friendly and personable. They mingle with the crowd, actually getting to know you before the shows. Of course, once they do know a little about you, it just may end up a part of the show! I can't sing, or rather, I shouldn't sing, but before the show opened I was at the back of the room, with the performer who played Bob Cratchit, and he asked me to join him in a round of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I was totally game! But he forgot one of the verses and it drove me nuts, so I gave him a bad time about it. Then during the actual performance, guess who got pointed out to the whole audience and had to sing! LOL Everyone had an amazing evening and we are looking forward to seeing more productions here. Thanks to the Prairie Dog Players!
