About EXPO
Explore the many ways University of Idaho College of Engineering students are pushing the boundaries of science and technology and working together to solve real-world problems at the Engineering Design EXPO. Learn more at https://www.uidaho.edu/engineering/news-events/engineering-expo.

EXPO is the longest-running student engineering and technological innovation showcase in the Pacific Northwest.

This ongoing class is designed for entry-level and experienced students alike, looking for more practice time on the pottery wheel. Experienced clay instructor, Casey Gurr, will offer guided, small-group instruction for anyone interested in learning the basics of throwing on the pottery wheel. More advanced students are welcome to use this time to practice what they already know and try new tricks! After creating about 1-3 pieces, we will dry and fire their pieces for them. Most pieces are ready for pickup in 2-3 weeks.

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.

Learn the building blocks of improv, and take your craft to the next level! At Sound and Stage’s Improv Jam, you can come watch or play on stage every First Friday of the month. Hosted by Daniel Maggard- with over 15 years of experience in the art of improv comedy. Volunteers are called in groups for teens OR adults game to game, ensuring a safe environment in an unscripted, unpolished, and sometimes unhinged show everyone can enjoy.

We are a nonprofit located on Amity Rd in Nampa, dedicated to making the arts accessible for all.

Join Comedians Heath Harmison and Aaron Woodall, 2 Ex Mormon Missionaries, as they share the Bad Word.

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
