- Boise Music Week 2017 - Music - An Adventure for Life Ninety-nine (99) years and counting! What a wonderful tradition of music to have in our community. Boise Music Week has been providing a marvelous week of music of all kinds for such a long time that we often forget who and what makes it possible. YOU! All the time, talent, and enjoyment would go unappreciated if generous people did not continue to support Music Week with their donations. Beginning with International Dance Night and ending with the production of this year’s musical Mary Poppins, our community, especially our youth, are showcased. We will have music and fun for everyone – School Night, Music in the Park, Church Night, All That’s Jazz, Organ Concerts, and Showcase. Rehearsals have been going strong since February and volunteers will be spending many, many hours preparing for the events. All of you help make this week possible and all for free of charge. No admission charges will be required at any of the events. Boise is a great city, made better by its strong support of the arts. We are indeed fortunate. In addition, we are already starting the planning process for next year - our 100th Celebration of Music Week! Wow, that is going to be exciting. In the meantime, enjoy Music Week 2017 by attending the events. Roger Lingle, President, Boise Music Week

forever grateful ... Harry W.Morrison, co-founder of the Morrison Knudsen Construction Company, and his wife,Velma V. Morrison shared a love of music and Broadway theatre, and dreamed of building a performing arts center in their beloved Boise. The dream finally became reality in 1984, long after Harry’s passing in 1971. Velma, who had long been a Boise Music Week supporter, offered the use of the Morrison Center, for the highlight event, the Broadway Musical production, beginning in 1988. Since then thousands have had the thrill of performing on that stage and thousands more have enjoyed the productions. Everyone is invited, regardless of their ability to pay, to experience the grandeur of the Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts, during Boise Music Week.

Velma passed way in 2013. Boise Music Week remains forever grateful to Harry and Velma Morrison for their passion, foresight, determination and generosity, and now appreciates the wonderful opportunity to continue working with the Morrison Center Endowment Foundation to perpetuate their legacy in this community. Boise Music Week’s Production of Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins A Musical based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney Film Original Music and Lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman Book by Julian Fellowes New Songs and Additional Music and Lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe Co-Created by Cameron Mackintosh

Synopsis Bert, the chimney sweep and jack-of-all-trades, introduces us to 1910 England and the Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins shows up at their door. The family finds that she’s the answer to their prayers, but in the most peculiar way. Using magic and common sense she teaches the Banks’ how to value each other again.

Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical, memorable adventures but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grownups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “Anything Can Happen if You Let it!”

Wendy Koeppl, Director Wendy and her husband Jim have been married for 35 years, and have 4 sons, 3 daughters- in-law, and 3 (almost 4!) grandchildren.

Wendy has directed numerous plays at BLT, as well as Beauty and the Beast and Hello Dolly! for Music Week.
