HomeGrown Theatre Presents POLAROID STORIES, Beginning Tonight
by BWW News Desk - September 12, 2014
HomeGrown Theatre begins its 2014-15 season this September with Polaroid Stories by Naomi Iizuka. Iizuka's 1997 deconstruction of Ovid's Metamorphoses sets the historic cannon of Greek Mythology in the streets of the present day urban United States and fills the roles of gods and goddesses with a cast of disenfranchised street dwellers and travelers. Polaroid Stories confronts these tales of morality with nontraditional definitions of love, change and control through the hard-hitting language and action of 20th century street life and social decay.

BWW Reviews: ISF THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR
by Teresa Rodrick - August 11, 2014
As always the opening night of a show is very exciting. Seeing the folks you know in the audience, saying hello to your seat neighbors, and getting a sneak peek see the portions of the set that Idaho Shakespeare Festival allows you to see before the show begins. I try to not do any research on a play I am going to see before I see it. Especially if I do not know anything about it yet. I like to give the theatre a chance to explain to me what will happen on their own terms.

BWW Reviews: THE MAD ADVENTURES OF MR. TOAD Personifies Good Children's Theatre in the Treasure Valley
by Diana Cayler - August 11, 2014
Since the building of Langroise Recital Hall on College of Idaho's campus in Caldwell, very few plays have been performed at Jewett Auditorium. I was pleased to hear, however, that not only would DreamWeaver Musical Theatre perform THE MAD ADVENTURES OF MR. TOAD on that stage, but that College of Idaho has graciously partnered with DreamWeaver for use of the auditorium over an indefinite period of time. An older stage, with plenty of seating and great acoustics, Jewett Auditorium gave a certain amount of charm to the show, even before the actors made their first entrance.
