Better Man Beard Best Summer Ever

You’ve got to get out of the house. The summer heat is no excuse to stay cooped up indoors all day. You have to get some fresh air starting right now. It’s ok. I’ll wait...That’s better now, isn’t it? Well, if you’re looking for something truly fun to do this summer to early fall, we’ve gathered some great events and activities going on in and around Boise that you won’t want to miss. Trust me. They’re worth leaving the cool embrace of your home’s air conditioning. Just don’t forget to bring the sunscreen.
Better Man Beard Best Donuts in Boise
Donuts and Tales
Honestly, what’s better than fresh donuts? Nothing. Now, this event is really just gilding the lily, but that’s exactly what an activity guide should be all about, right? Head on out to Guru Donuts (928 W Main St #100 Boise, ID 83702) every Tuesday morning this summer at 10 am to join the fine folks at Rediscovered Bookshop for donuts and stories read aloud for adults and kids of all ages. Bring the family and enjoy some great books and fresh donuts. We recommend the Drumstick and the Paul Bunyan. (We gotta go with the bearded guy, right!?) More info here.

Better Man Beard


Idaho Shakespeare Festival
You see, live theater is just as exciting, if not MORE exciting than a movie, (except you can’t yell at the stage during a play). Get out of the house this year and check out Idaho’s premier Shakespeare Festival. This year they have a fabulous lineup including Mamma Mia!, Macbeth, and Misery.

More info on Mamma Mia!:

Music and lyrics by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus. Some songs with Stig Anderson. Book by Catherine Johnson. Originally conceived by Judy Craymer Directed by Victoria Bussert

The ultimate feel-good musical, this sunny, funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise.

The story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, creating an unforgettable evening of delight!
