The Treasurer

The Argyros

Sun Valley Playwright's Residency in partnership with The Argyros & The Community Library presents THE TREASURER A Play Reading Written & Directed by Max Posner Featuring David Janeski, Billie McBride, Shonda Royall, and Jeremy Shamos MacArthur “Genius” and Idaho native Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale; A Case for the Existence of God) leads a conversation with Sun Valley Playwright's Residency's 2024-2025 Resident Playwright Max Posner followed by a reading of Posner’s hit Off Broadway play, The Treasurer, featuring Wood River Valley-based David Janeski (Gruesome Playground Injuries), Colorado Theatre Guild’s Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Billie McBride (Torch Song Trilogy), Shonda Royall (Clyde’s at Boise Contemporary Theater), and Obie Award Winner and Tony Award nominee Jeremy Shamos (Here We Are; Clybourne Park). Ida Armstrong is broke, lonely, and fading fast. And she’s spending all of her children’s money, forcing her son to assume the unwanted role of The Treasurer: an arrangement that becomes untenable the more he questions his devotion to her. This darkly funny, sharply intimate portrait chronicles the strained ties between a son and his aging mother, and the hell of a guilty conscience.

Ketchum Town Square Open House

Ketchum Town Square

Ketchum Town Square was unveiled in 2010 as a vibrant and interactive space where the community could gather, socialize, and participate in various activities. Since then, it has become part of Ketchum’s social fabric, hosting countless events—big and small—and welcoming residents and visitors alike for coffee breaks or to sit by the fire after a day on the slopes. However, some of its infrastructure and amenities have deteriorated or are out-of-date. The city is evaluating plans to replace or upgrade parts of Town Square to keep it vibrant for years to come. Your input is invaluable to determining project priorities. Enjoy snacks and drinks and learn more about what needs to be upgraded at Town Square, why, and potential improvements plans. Your feedback will be collected and presented at the next City Council meeting later in October. RSVP at participate@ketchumidaho.org or call 208.726.3841 with questions
