U of I Energy Institute Energy Symposium
University of Idaho - ENGR
The University of Idaho Energy Institute is hosting its first-ever Energy Symposium, bringing together professionals to explore the methods, goals and opportunities shaping today’s energy project permitting landscape. The event is open to all whose work intersects with energy or the environment. Lunch will be provided.
We will examine hydroelectric relicensing, renewable project permitting and the nuclear project space, including the fuel supply chain and plant permitting programs. A panel will take lessons from the international energy project space and we'll hear up-to-the-minute reports from current permitting reform efforts at the federal, state and local levels.
Our communities depend on access to safe, reliable and affordable energy while also carrying a shared responsibility to protect natural, cultural and historic resources for present and future generations. Balancing these priorities is both a vital responsibility and a complex challenge.

Ride the Cyclone
University of Idaho - CLASS
In a darkly hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt musical, six Canadian teens from the Saint Cassian Chamber Choir meet their untimely end on a roller coaster — only to wake up in limbo, greeted by an aging mechanical fortune teller named The Amazing Karnak. In a dusty, forgotten amusement park warehouse, these ghostly teens are given one extraordinary chance: tell their story, and one of them will be returned to life. But who deserves a second chance the most?
Set to a genre-defying score — from soaring ballads to sharp-edged rap — Ride the Cyclone is a wildly original one-act musical that explores what it means to live, love, and leave your mark. With a quirky, diverse cast of unforgettable characters, this cult hit has captivated audiences across North America with its blend of biting comedy, unexpected pathos, and show-stopping musical numbers.

Theatre Arts
In a darkly hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt musical, six Canadian teens from the Saint Cassian Chamber Choir meet their untimely end on a roller coaster — only to wake up in limbo, greeted by an aging mechanical fortune teller named The Amazing Karnak. In a dusty, forgotten amusement park warehouse, these ghostly teens are given one extraordinary chance: tell their story, and one of them will be returned to life. But who deserves a second chance the most?
Set to a genre-defying score — from soaring ballads to sharp-edged rap — Ride the Cyclone is a wildly original one-act musical that explores what it means to live, love, and leave your mark. With a quirky, diverse cast of unforgettable characters, this cult hit has captivated audiences across North America with its blend of biting comedy, unexpected pathos, and show-stopping musical numbers.

Theatre Arts
In "The Mire," Trace Davis's sharply observed contemporary play, a married couple – Reese and Gabriella – find their fragile equilibrium upended by the persistent presence of Reese's needy ex-wife. As loyalties are strained and emotional leverage becomes a weapon, Reese is forced into an impossible position: choosing between past obligations and present loyalty, where every option carries its own cost. "The Mire" examines the modern marital contract with unsentimental clarity, exposing how love, guilt and responsibility can entangle even the best intentions.

First Bite New Play Series: HEAD OF THE FAMILY by Laura Byron Wade
Theatre Arts
This comedic family debacle in two acts focuses on two adult siblings, Max and Minnie, as they face the challenge of digging through their recently deceased father's belongings. Minnie, who is an alcoholic and a playwright, approaches the process very differently than her brother, Max, who is a recovering alcoholic and a professor. The plot twists when they find something illegal in the house, are visited by a nosey neighbor, Miss Nancy, and mistake Max's boyfriend, Joel, for a police officer who has arrived at the house to arrest them. Filled with mistaken identity, family secrets, horny neighbors, bottles of Jack Daniels and the love of the greatest works of Walt Whitman, "Head of the Family" will take the audience on a ride fueled by humor, mystery and suspense.
Performances for Head of the Family by Laura Wade will be at 5 p.m. PST on Saturday, April 4, and at 2 p.m. PST on Sunday, April 5, via Zoom.
