The Winter's Tale in Boise

About

The Idaho Shakespeare Festival brings Shakespeare's tale of jealousy and redemption to life at their Boise amphitheater, where a king's destructive paranoia sets off a chain of events that separates families for sixteen years. Running August 14 through August 29, 2026, this production explores themes of forgiveness and second chances as the separated characters find their way back together. The festival's traditional staging allows the play's blend of tragedy, comedy, and romance to unfold in an outdoor setting designed for Shakespeare's work.
