| | I and You
By Lauren Gunderson
One afternoon, Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate Caroline’s door bearing a beat-up copy of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, an urgent assignment from their English teacher. Homebound due to illness, Caroline hasn’t been to school in months, but she is as quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. As these two let down their guards and share their secrets, this seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks a much deeper mystery that has brought them together. I and You is an ode to youth, life, love, and the strange beauty of human connectedness.

The Persistent Guest
by Jodeen Revere
In November, a small group attended the Ming Studio’s 7 O’clock Series to hear a reading by local performer, Jodeen Revere. Originally intended to be part of a book, Jodeen’s sixty minute segment was funny, touching, insightful, enlightening and full of unexpected observations about her three separate rounds of treatment for breast cancer. The crowd was enthralled and enthusiastic. It became clear the piece was in fact a one-woman show. Jodeen is a Boise local, well known and beloved, and many members of this community play a part in her story. She embodies multiple characters, employs projections of documentary images and original artwork, and guides us expertly with her charm, physical prowess and love for life.

By Lynn Nottage
Filled with warm humor and tremendous heart, Sweat tells the story of a group of friends who have spent their lives sharing drinks, secrets, and laughs while working together on the factory floor. But when layoffs and picket lines begin to chip away at their trust, the friends find themselves pitted against each other in a heartwrenching fight to stay afloat. A nuanced yet powerful drama that reminds audiences of the stacked deck still facing workers searching for the American dream.

The Show on the Roof
Book by Tom Ford
Music & Lyrics by Alex Syiek
“Enter into this show I’ve created. It may not be real, but real’s overrated.” There’s a nightly floor show at the local drive-in… on the roof! Come on up for a journey through the turbulent times of 1955 in Boise, Idaho where no one is safe from suspicion. Join us for this world premiere musical that examines the homosexual panic that swept up the entire city. A surprising package of hilarity and heartbreak! Madcaps and mayhem! Song and dance! This world premiere is commissioned with the generous support of Raulo and Allana Frear.
