Egyptian Theatre (Boise, Idaho)
The Egyptian Theatre is a theatre and concert venue in Boise, Idaho. Inaugurated in 1927, it is the oldest theatre in the city. When it opened the local press wrote that it "embodies the characteristic features of the land of the Nile, from the truncated pyramids which form the great pylons, to the lotus bud pillars with their ornate frescoes".[1] The great lotus pillars flanking the screen are based on those of Karnak. The theatre has been renovated by Conrad Schmitt Studios.[2]
