Join us in McCall!

All events of the Seven Devils Playwrights Conference are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC at all times. You can even come to our rehearsals (as long as you're quiet).

Rehearsals happen during the Conference from Monday through Saturday. The rehearsal schedule is posted daily in the lobby of the Alpine Playhouse at 1210 Roosevelt Avenue in downtown McCall, Idaho (Just ask anyone in town where it is. They'll know.) The schedule is also available on this web-site during the Conference.

All plays at the Seven Devils Playwrights Conference are presented either as Fully Staged Readings, or Seated Readings, with script in hand. All plays are in development, and are followed by moderated talkbacks.

How do I reserve my tickets?

We do not take ticket reservations or have a box office - simply come to the Theater and pick a chair: the house is always open. Usually folks start to show up between 7:00 and 7:15 for the evening presentation (sometimes earlier if we're working on the student plays). If you're coming from out of town and want to be sure to have a seat you can email paula@idtheater.org, or come by the theater and talk to Jeni, Paula or Sheila.

How do I get to McCall, Idaho?

McCall, Idaho is located 120 miles north of Boise, Idaho (about 2.5 hours drive) and sits at just over 5,000 ft above sea level. Boise is the home of the nearest major airport (There is a small airport that serves private jets and a few small commuter/back country outfits but there are no rental cars available in McCall at this time, so we recommend flying into Boise).

What is McCall like?

There's lots to do in McCall - from hiking, boating, biking and hot springs to just sitting at the Bistro drinking a glass of wine and musing on the meaning of life. Ponderosa State Park is just minutes from our front door and McCall is home to a number of wonderful artists studios and even has an ice-skating rink. Because if its altitude, temperatures can vary greatly in McCall. It is not unusual to get a spot of snow in June, and it's not unusual for it to be 70 degrees later that same afternoon.

The Alpine Playhouse

The Alpine Playhouse Since 1969 when an ambitious group of McCall, Idaho residents joined with the community and local businesses to transform the town's old Catholic Church into a theater, the Alpine Playhouse has provided McCall with a home for the performing arts. The Alpine offers local artists a place where they can gather to create, challenge and inspire each other. The Alpine has presented a variety of plays including: Steel Magnolias, Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Bye Bye Birdie, & Burnt Butterscotch Pudding. The Playhouse has been home to numerous high school productions, children's showcases, theater workshops, concerts, and humanities lectures. It has sponsored local Shakespeare in the Park presentations and residencies by the id Theater. The Alpine Playhouse is a true community theater that has nurtured the talents and visions of McCall artists too numerous to name.
