The Idaho Shakespeare Festival kicked off its 2019 season last week with the opening of The Taming of the Shrew. This season's program is chock-a-block with drama (Witness for the Prosecution, Julius Caesar) and music (The Music Man, Million Dollar Quartet) and on Friday's Idaho Matters, the festival's marketing director, Hannah Read Newbill, joins us to preview the program. We also meet Eric Damon Smith and Sara Griffin, cast members from The Taming of the Shrew.
