8PM \/ nexStage Theatre \/ Ketchum<\/p>\n
As part of the Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival, nexStage Theatre will present the contemporary comedy \u201cRapture, Blister, Burn\u201d by Gina Gionfriddo. Performances run at the nexStage Theatre, with shows commencing at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n

A dangerous game of musical chairs commences \u2013 the prize being Gwen\u2019s husband. The play uses “the grass is always greener\u201d idiom to explore theme.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s about how we may never be happy about the way we have spent our life, and it poses the question \u2018what if I had chosen a different path,\u2019\u201d said Brett Moellenberg, director.<\/p>\n

Thursday August 4 & 6<\/p>\n
Family Concerts At The Symphony<\/b><\/p>\n
6:30PM \/ Pavilion \/ Sun Valley<\/p>\n
The Sun Valley Summer Symphony will present concerts with a special appeal for families this\u00a0Thursday and Saturday. Prokofiev\u2019s \u201cPeter and the Wolf\u201d on Aug. 4 and Britten\u2019s \u201cThe Young Person\u2019s Guide to the Orchestra\u201d on\u00a0Aug. 6\u00a0are two of the most beloved orchestral works ever written to introduce the symphony to young audiences.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 Narrator John Glenn, a founding member of the local theatre group Company of Fools, will tell the story of Peter, while other animals in the story are represented by specific instruments. For example, the bird is a flute, the duck is an oboe and the cat is a clarinet.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 In 1936, Sergei Prokofiev was commissioned by the Central Children’s Theatre in Moscow to write a new musical symphony for children.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u201cThe intent of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony in bringing this to the stage is the same as that of its original commissioners,\u201d Jenny Krueger, executive director, said. \u201cCultivating musical tastes in children from the first years of school is just as important today as it was in 1936. This will be a great event to share with our youngest music lovers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0 Young performers will also grace the stage, as chamber music students from the Sun Valley Summer Symphony Summer Music Workshops will play alongside the symphony in this program.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u201cThe Young Person\u2019s Guide to the Orchestra\u201d originally was written as an educational documentary featuring the London Symphony Orchestra. The full orchestra introduces a theme, which is then played by different groups of instruments. This gives audience members of all ages a clear look and listen to all the instruments in the orchestra.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 The final work on the\u00a0Aug. 6\u00a0program is Prokofiev\u2019s Concert No. 3 in C Major for Piano. It will feature pianist Joyce Yang in her third appearance with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. Yang first performed the concerto at the age of 12. She came to international attention in 2005 when she won the silver medal at the 12th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition at age 19. She was the youngest person to compete in the event.<\/p>\n
The Sun Valley Summer Symphony is the largest admission-free, privately funded symphony in America.\u00a0In addition to the family concerts, the Symphony offers a free Kids\u2019 Music Tent for children ages 4 to 8 to explore music. The tent opens at the back of the R.E. Holding Sun Valley Pavilion lawn 45 minutes before each of the Orchestra Festival concerts\u00a0Aug. 1-18. Details on these concerts, as well as a complete list of performances, are on the Symphony\u2019s website at www.svsummersymphony.org.<\/p>\n

Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival will present William Shakespeare\u2019s haunting classic \u201cHamlet\u201d in Forest Service Park July 28\u2013August 6 at 7 p.m. Widely considered Shakespeare\u2019s finest work and the best play ever written in the English language, \u201cHamlet\u201d needs no introduction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really love this play,\u201d said Director Bruce Hostetler. \u201cIt\u2019s a great story, it\u2019s well written, it\u2019s got great characters and it\u2019s funny when done well. But, ultimately, it is a ghost story. It\u2019s about a college kid who comes home, and the ghost of his father shows up and says, \u2018kill your uncle.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The standout cast features locals Natalie Battistone, Steve d’Smith, Matt Gorby, Mac Harbaugh, Yanna Lantz, Evan Marks, Brett Moellenberg, Kevin Wade, Jamie Wygle and Patsy Wygle, and features guest artists Tim Blough, Mike Kutner and Dayvin Turchiano.<\/p>\n
