From the Executive Director

Laura Kendall

Friends,

We welcome you to the Morrison Center and invite you to experience the array of performances that showcase the talent, diversity, and creativity that make the performing arts so unique.

There is so much to be excited about this year, from the premiere of the inaugural Idaho High School Theater Awards to the electrifying Syncopated Ladies who will bring their fierce footwork to the Morrison Center stage on March 5th.

Today, we journey to the past with the romantic and adventure-filled new musical, ANASTASIA. From the Tony Award®-winning creators of the Broadway classic Ragtime, this dazzling show transports us from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past.

ANASTASIA features a book by celebrated playwright Terrence McNally, a lush new score by Stephen Flaherty (music), and Lynn Ahrens (lyrics) with direction by Tony Award winner Darko Tresnjak.

We celebrate and acknowledge Kyla Stone, who is opening doors and sharing Anya’s story as the first Black actress to play the leading role in any ANASTASIA production worldwide. Bravo, Kyla! We also want to Welcome Back Home to Boise, ensemble cast member Taylor Stanger.

We love being your conduit for unforgettable arts and entertainment experiences, and in June we will usher in the Tony Award® winning performance of DEAR EVAN HANSEN.

Please join us in a few short weeks as we once again team up with our partner Broadway Across America to reveal the 2022/23 Broadway in Boise series.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

I look forward to seeing you in the seats,

Laura Kendall
Executive Director, The Morrison Center
