The Velma Morrison Center is Idaho's most celebrated performance complex, nestled on the bank of the Boise River and a part of Boise State University ( BSU ). With its lovely panoramic view of the city, parks and mountains, it provides a cultural elegance to Treasure Valley Idaho residents and guests alike.
Boise Performing Arts - Past and Present
For over 20 years the Velma Morrison Center has provided Boise and Idaho with Broadway musicals, opera and symphony orchestra concerts in Idaho, providing an unsurpassed setting for performers and audiences alike
Acoustically, the room is like a large musical instrument that can be tuned by adjusting ceiling and wall acoustical drapery. Whether the performance is a solo or a full musical production the Center will have excellent acoustics. Because no seat is further than 131 feet from stage, audiences will have an unusual intimacy with the performers.
