7 p.m. A & H Yanke Family Research Park. First Folio Closing Event: “Our Revels Now Are Ended.” What did it take to bring the First Folio to Boise? Join a panel of Folio event coordinators as they discuss the nearly two-year process from application to exhibit. We will highlight the ups and downs of this labor of love bolstered by a shared passion for Shakespeare and desire to bring The Bard to a diverse Idaho audience. After the discussion, experience a special, remount performance of Shakespeare’s Sonnets by Idaho Dance Theatre. Shakespeare’s language is brought to life in voice and movement in this beautiful and moving work choreographed by Marla Hansen. “First Folio! The book that gave us Shakespeare” will be on the Boise State campus from Aug. 20-Sept. 21. Special events and programs for Idahoans of all ages will be featured all month long.
