Benefit for Wildland Firefighters To Play At Boise State September 11

A benefit performance of “The Guys” will be presented at 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, at the Boise State University Special Events Center. Tickets are $15 and are available at the door or in advance at www.sponprod.com. Proceeds will benefit the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, a Boise-based non-profit organization that provides emergency financial assistance to families of fallen firefighters and aids with support of their young children. “The Guys” is based on the true story of a reporter who befriends a New York City fire chief and helps him write eulogies for firemen who died while trying to rescue others during the World Trade Center attacks. The show is helmed by longtime Boise director John Myers and stars Treasure Valley theater veterans John Elliott and Janet Summers. Spontaneous Productions is proud of its commitment to community-based theater. Now in its seventh season, Spontaneous has brought memorable productions of shows to its Boise stage such as an all-male version of “Nunsense,” the controversial “Most Fabulous Story Ever Told,” “Torch Song Trilogy,” “Equus,” “Jeffrey,” “Love! Valour! Compassion!,” “The Laramie Project” and the company’s signature production, “The Rocky Horror Show.” -30- Contact Steve Martin Spontaneous Productions 208 363-7053 Media Contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208 426-3275 Return to News home
