The Fool Squad will speak about the arts at First Thursday's Fettuccine Forum!

5:30pm - April 2, 2009 at The Rose Room (718 W Idaho St )

“Fooling With the Arts: The Fool Squad”
Join Joe Golden and Tom Willmorth, “The Fool Squad”, as they report their screwball observations of Boise’s arts, culture, and political scenes, from Butch Otter’s pants to the shrinking Statesman! Since teaming up as writers/producers of Shakespeare Festival’s “Greenshows,” in 1993, Joe and Tom have become the Treasure Valley’s unofficial court jesters!

Bring a friend and join us on First Thursday for the April Forum. The evening promises to be insightful, timely and laugh-out-loud funny!

Tom Willmorth, a native Idahoan, received his BFA in Drama at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and studied improvisation at Chicago’s Second City Training Center. He first performed at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival in 1977, (its third season) and has appeared in numerous plays at ISF and Boise Contemporary Theatre. When he can find a necktie, he is a teacher at Capital High School.

Joe Golden grew up in the Midwest but has loved being an Idahoan for the past sixteen years. He received his MFA in acting and directing from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and has acted at Missouri Repertory Theater, and the Intiman Theater in Seattle. He came to Boise in 1992 to act with the Idaho Shakespeare Festival…and never left. In addition to his prolific work on the stages of Boise, Joe is chair of the Dept. of Theatre and Speech Arts at the College of Idaho.
