Always a must-see part of our summer. The cast are so incredible every time, I’m blown away that they still offer shows free to the public. Personally I feel it’s a huge privilege and an important enrichment for our family to have MSIP in our town every year. 10/10 do not miss!

I used to go to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival every year before I moved out to Idaho and this was every bit as good, if not better, on a smaller stage. I was blown away and happy to finally get to introduce my daughters to some Shakespeare. Thanks for coming to our little town!!!

Every aspect was superb [...] a true delight for the entire family! MSIP has been a tradition to kick off summer in our family for over 15 years. We are thankful to have this caliber of talent and dedication in theatre for our children to grow up with! Thank you!
