In 1981, a community of philanthropists, inspired by Velma and Harry's dream to build a performing arts center, came together to raise more than $16 million. During the ground-breaking ceremony, Boise State President John Keiser praised the community spirit that made the Morrison Center possible. As we celebrate four decades of serving as Idaho's Home for the Performing Arts, we want to recognize you and your investment in supporting professional touring productions, education, and a world-class facility.
