Get ready for a wild night of country music with Creed Fisher at the Roadhouse - it's gonna be one hell of a party!

"The odds were against me all along, but I just wouldn't go away."All-American musician Creed Fisher is a storyteller, hard worker, and a rising Outlaw Country star. With around 100 million streams on Spotify and nearly 60 million views on YouTube, Fisher’s raw, unfiltered, and unique sound blends traditional country with some modern elements.

After growing up in West Texas, he played professional football for around 9 years. When he retired from the game, Fisher used that passion and drive to fuel his music and convert his scars & pain into passion and determination. "A big part of my music is patriotic and for the working class. I relate to my music because I lived it." Creed Fisher reminds fans to never lose sight of who you are, where you’re from, and never fear hard work. His patriotism and life experiences thread throughout his songs to create powerful music that speaks to all!

This class trains the human how to teach the dog. The theme of the program is control and enthusiasm. The ultimate goal is an attentive, enthusiastic dog, under complete control, that responds immediately and eagerly to all commands. The course is six weeks and will cover the basic obedience commands: watch me, leave it, heal, sit, down, stay, and come. Various training strategies will be covered in the course. The course will utilize the distraction of dogs and people to master the skills. This course is being taught by Denise Baxter. Denise is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, a Pet Partners Evaluator, and an Alliance of Therapy Dogs Tester/Observer. Denise has been teaching dog obedience classes since 1997.

The Boise Bard Players presents Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing! All the wedding drama. None of your crazy family members. This is Shakespeare like you’ve never seen before—Much Ado stripped down to its rebellious, fast-talking heart. Six Actors. One Hour. No Stage.

The story: When war heroes Claudio and Benedick return home, they expect a victory lap. Instead, they find themselves caught in a crossfire of wit and wicked schemes. While the young and naive fall for shadowy plots, the legendary witty Beatrice and Benedick wage a “merry war” of words that might just be the greatest love story never told.

This touring play is brought to life all around you, at your table, barstool, or booth. We are jumping off the stage and right into your lives—in fact, we won’t even HAVE a stage this time.

The ultimate “enemies to lovers” story written 400 years ago takes new life as we drop the fourth wall and bring you, wherever you are, into the action. Each performance is site specific and unique.

NOTE: 9 pm shows are 21+ performances. Ever hear how Shakespeare is just “bawdy” jokes? Yeah. It is. Adult Night performances are where we really get to lean into it.

Come be part of the wacky magic.

$20 General Admission
