A Bright New Boise by Samuel D. Hunter

8pm Tuesday - Saturday

In a bleak break room of a craft store in Boise, Idaho someone is summoning the Rapture. 

Will Cronin is determined to make a fresh start for himself after being implicated in a scandalous tragedy at his church in Rathdrum. His new employer, the Hobby Lobby, could provide the stability he is lacking; but the grandiosity of his troubled beliefs and his hunger to connect threatens to throw the hobby lobby eco system into chaos. 

This play explores themes of family, faith and fundamentalism.

Presented by Misplaced Theatre.
Company co-founder, Amy Tanner, directs this thought-provoking piece of theatre set in the Playwright’s home state.

About Misplaced Theatre
Our company came into being when the four-founding members, Ciaran, Amy, Jo and Norberto met at a Bristol Old Vic Shakespeare Summer School – we bonded over our desire to get back on stage and find opportunities not only for ourselves but also for other actors and creatives who had been misplaced during their careers. Running for 4 years now, we have produced an eclectic mix of theatre including immersive Shakespeare, John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt: A Parable, Philip Ridley’s Tender Napalm and performing new writing by Marley Starkey-Joyner and Madison Cole. We enjoy bringing powerful pieces of writing to the stage with a team of talented and enthusiastic creatives. If you would like to know more about Misplaced, please see our

All tickets include a £1 admin charge

Approx running time 1 hour 30 mins (no interval)
