Idaho Shakespeare Festival

Amphitheater

Welcome to the Idaho Shakespeare Festival Amphitheater & Reserve. As you enter our outdoor amphitheater and habitat reserve, you'll be embarking upon a theatrical experience like no other!

In addition to all the magic, drama and passion of professional theater, and a 760 seat, state-of-the-art facility that was built to feature the human voice, the Festival Amphitheater & Reserve is nestled in a unique habitat that is home to an astonishing variety of plant and animal species. The Festival operates under an agreement with the Idaho Foundation for Parks & Lands, and the Idaho Department of Parks & Recreation. As you wend your way into the theater proper, you'll enjoy native plants, the songs of water birds and glimpses of deer, heron, ducks, geese and an occasional fox.

The William Shakespeare Park offers lovely picnicking and river viewing areas. Café Shakespeare is a great location for meeting friends and lingering on the flagstone patio with a glass of wine or a gourmet dinner. Café Shakespeare —catering by Lisa Peterson—offers a variety of gourmet deli items, picnic dinners, dessert and an assortment of beverages, wines and Tablerock beers.

Helpful Notes

We encourage you to bring blankets and low-backed lawn chairs for both reserved and general admission lawn-seating. And you may of course bring your own picnic and beverages.

Dress for the weather as the theater is outdoors and evenings along the river may start off warm but can quickly cool down as the sun sets.
