The Theater

The Egyptian Theatre in Boise

Welcome to the home of NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet in Boise: The Egyptian Theatre! The Egyptian Theatre is one of Boise, Idaho’s most cherished historical landmarks. The venue offers a warm, lush and lovingly restored environment, with amazing attention to Egyptian architectural detailing. The Egyptian Theatre opened for business with “Don Juan” on April 19, 1927. Known by guests as the Fox in the 1930’s, the ADA in the 1940’s and again as the Egyptian in the late 1970’s, the theatre is the last of the downtown single-screen theatres.

The 1999 Restoration of the Egyptian was commissioned by the Hardy Foundation, Inc.; Project Architect, Gregory A. Kaslo, AIA.
