"An important part of our mission, and being designated as a Cultural Ambassador for the City of Boise, is to increase access and opportunity to the Center. Our Founders wanted the Morrison Center to be the "Peoples' Theatre" and we are always looking for new ways to add value and further our community impact."

Legendary folk icons The Kingston Trio bring their timeless music to fans across the USA with a national tour that marks the group's 60th anniversary. Keeping it in the family, Josh Reynolds, son of original member Nick Reynolds, along with lifelong musical partners Mike Marvin and Tim Gorelangton, perform many of the trio's best-loved songs. The performances take the audience on an iconic musical journey to a time when folk music made its extraordinary ascent to the pinnacle of popular culture - and the top of the music charts. The Kingston Trio was one of the most prominent groups of the era's pop-folk boom that started in 1958 with the release of their first album and its hit recording of "Tom Dooley," which sold over three million copies as a single.

The Limeliters launched their career, to universal acclaim, in 1960 at San Francisco's legendary "hungry i" night club. The original band members took the country by storm with their soaring harmonies, eclectic repertoire and sophisticated humor. The Limeliters have performed on college campuses, television, produced a Grammy nominated children's album, provided the title song to a John Wayne movie and recorded one of the most memorable advertising jingles of all time,"Things Go Better With Coke!" Current members Andy Corwin, Gaylan Taylor and Don Marovich are in perfect sync with The Limeliter tradition and remain one of the most dynamic vocal groups on the scene today.

Located on the campus of Boise State University, the 2,037-seat Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts is Idaho's premier performing arts center. Nestled on the banks of the Boise River, with a panoramic view of the city, parks and foothills, the Center's 10-story stage house is a recognizable fixture of the Capitol's picturesque skyline. The realization of a life-long dream of Harry W. Morrison, and championed by his widow, Velma, the Center opened its doors on April 7, 1984. Today the Center is recognized as a Cultural Ambassador for the City of Boise and a major destination for arts and culture, annually hosting hundreds of live entertainment and arts education offerings that serve to enrich the lives of patrons of all ages. As a Boise State affiliate, the Center is a non-profit organization supported by ticket sales, facility rentals, donations and the generous support of the Morrison Center Endowment Foundation, Inc.
