“Each of our mainstage plays examines the vantage point at which we find ourselves: considering the great hope of what lies ahead,” said acting producing artistic director Benjamin Burdick in a statement. “We believe the future of BCT is bright, and we are incredibly excited to share it with this wonderfully supportive community.”
The season will begin with The Wolves (Oct. 16-Nov. 9) by Sarah DeLappe. DeLappe’s Pulitzer Prize finalist play follows a dedicated group of girls on an indoor soccer team.
Following will be the world premiere of the one-woman musical Tammy Lisa/Misery to Meaning (Nov. 20-Dec. 7), written and performed by Lauren Weedman. The musical explores the humorous side of divorce.
Next up will be Wendy MacLeod’s Slow Food (Jan. 29-Feb. 15), a marital comedy set in a restaurant.
The season will continue with Every Brilliant Thing (March 4-21) by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe. The play navigates grief and resilience through the eyes of a six-year-old boy.
The season will close with the world premiere of the musical The Show on the Roof (April 15-May 9) by Tom Ford with music and lyrics by Alex Syiek. The musical, which won BCT’s 2019-20 River Prize, tells the story of Boise’s gay community in 1955.
Founded in 1996, BCT creates thought-provoking stories to drive arts and culture in Boise and beyond.
