Visiting Artist Series Welcomes Idaho Shakespeare Festival

Published: February 28, 2019

College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) Visiting Artist Series is proud to welcome the Idaho Shakespeare Festival (ISF) Shakespearience program to the Nampa Campus Academic Building (NCAB) Monday, March 11, from 7 – 8 p.m., to perform As You Like It, Shakespeare’s most romantic comedy. Having to flee the home of her uncle, Rosalind disguises herself as a man and brings along her cousin, Celia, and the clown, Touchstone. Taking refuge in the Forest of Arden, they find adventure and romance. Mistaken identity and disguise lead to revelations of honesty, truth, and the nature of love.

CWI’s Visiting Artist Series is made possible through a grant from Idaho Commission on the Arts, which is supported by National Endowment for the Arts. Visiting Artist Series events, featuring visual and performing artists, are free and open to the public. The performance is suitable for all ages and will be sign interpreted (ASL). An acting workshop, hosted by ISF, will follow the performance from 8 – 9 p.m. in NCAB 206.

Contact Brenda Fisher at 208.562.3351 or brendafisher@cwi.edu to learn more.
