BOISE, USA
Inspired by actual events, Boise, USA begins Halloween night, 1955, in quiet, respectable Boise, Idaho, when
the shocking arrests of three men for "lewd and lascivious conduct" with three teenage boys sets off a
notorious "witch hunt" to purge the city of all suspected homosexuals.  Family loyalties are divided, pitting
brother against brother, father against son.   

What happened in Boise then could happen again, anywhere, any time, even now.

"Character-driven drama that avoids politically correct preachiness and
instead conveys a powerful message through crackling stagecraft!"
LA WEEKLY

"A human tragedy about the price paid when we deny the rights and freedoms of others!"
LA TIMES

"A hard hitter reminiscent of The Crucible and The Laramie Project!
Deserves to be on the map of plays of blacklisting, finger-pointing caliber! "
STAGE HAPPENINGS

"Powerful, written with true grit!  A remarkably strong cast!  
Directed with gut-wrenching reality!  A worthy theatrical effort!"
TOLUCAN TIMES

"Salem K Theatre Company once again strikes a hit!  
Certainly important in this era of legal gay marriage!"
AMERICAN RADIO NETWORK

"Particular resonancy for those who can recall the pre-Stonewall past!   
A play every young gay person should see!"
