Celebrate summer and support local theatre at Star-Spangled Shakespeare, a lively evening hosted by Shakespeare Coeur d’Alene. From 7 to 9pm on Friday, June 20, guests will enjoy flavorful appetizers, festive drinks and live performances revisiting standout scenes from the past four productions—each one brought back to life by the original cast. This spirited fundraiser blends great food, bold storytelling, and community connection, all in support of the upcoming season. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the magic of Shakespeare, this is a night not to miss. Join the celebration, raise a glass and help keep the curtain rising on unforgettable local theatre. Tickets are priced $75 each and can be purchased online at ShakespeareCdA.org.



My name is Jillian, and I have been an editor and writer here in Coeur d’Alene since 2006, during which time I’ve had the opportunity to work for nine publications across North Idaho, into Spokane and as far as Gig Harbor, Washington. I am grateful to have the opportunity to now focus all my attention, energy and passion on my local community, finding and sharing heartfelt stories, spotlighting the incredible people, showcasing local businesses, organizations and nonprofits, and of course highlighting the many wonderful events our area has to offer.
