THE ANNUAL 7 DAY SHAKESPEARE BARD-A-THON KICKS OFF SUNDAY!

Written by on January 16, 2025

The yearly tradition of reading Shakespeare’s 39 plays and 154 sonnets, 24 hours a day for 7 days is almost here. This year’s Bard-a-thon will be held January 19-26 at The Commons in Viroqua and Pump House Regional Arts Center in La Crosse, as well as online via Zoom.

Colin Thelen joined the Morning Buzz to talk about how to get involved, or just watch these unique presentations:

The Bard-a-thon begins at 4pm on Sunday 1/19 and begin another play every four hours (8 am, 12 pm, 4pm, 8pm, 12 am, 4 am, etc).
From 4 pm on January 19th to 4 pm on January 22nd the in-person location for the readings will be The Commons Art & Community Center at 400 East Jefferson Street in Viroqua.
From 4 pm on Wednesday, January 22nd to 4 pm on Sunday, January 26th, the in-person readings will take place at The Pump House Regional Arts Center at 119 King Street in La Crosse.

They are doing this crazy insane project because we love the works of Shakespeare and want as many people as possible to experience the poetry.
Show up anytime on zoom or in person and read along or just listen.
