Voices From The Boise Hole

Alley Repertory Theater presents selections from Voices From The Boise Hole, a monologue play that unearths the challenges and triumphs, the oddities and crippling banalities, of dwelling in what many call the "most livable" city in America: Boise, Idaho.

Making The Band

For Treefort, we have loosely concocted a hair brain scheme that is a long form improv experience we title "Making the Band". We want our audience to help us build the backstory of the epic hip/indie/tragic/rock/street/pop rise of the now iconic superstar group "_________" ( insert rock band name here) who had the chart topping hit "____" (insert song here). Audiences will witness the rise and fall of this ridiculously cliched rock duo. It will be Treefort music festivals very own Spinal Tap!

Heidi Kraay
@ Boise 150 Sesqui-Shop

Carny Veil

A short monologue play by Heidi Kraay with live cello accompaniment by Melissa Wilson. Carny Veil deals with a woman's year-gone-ugly spent with a ragged carnival crew. It was recently selected as a semi-finalist for the Spotlight On playwriting competition in Hollywood. It is relevant for all humans who want to treat each other better. It is a poetic blast of narrative drama and movement in response to music.

Playing With Space

Using a loosely defined structure, we find a composition together and tell a story by finding it ourselves. It's about trust and discovery as music, visual art, movement and text collide in theatrical upstarts.
