The Bardathon, an event first held in 1999 where community members get together and read Shakespeare’s work nonstop for a week, makes an in-person return this year. The event, held at Raven’s Landing in Fairbanks, starts with an opening ceremony on the Feb. 11 at five pm in the Fireplace lounge. Members of the troupe will put on short scenes and monologues and food will be served. After this, the reading starts at 8 pm with "Romeo and Julie"t in Raven 4. From this point forward, plays and sonnets will be read without pause until Feb.19 at noon. The event will conclude with a reading of "Much Ado About Nothing". The event is an incredibly approachable way for someone to experience the Bard’s writing. The communal aspect of the reading allows for someone who has had trouble getting into Shakespeare in the past to basically watch and potentially participate in a rehearsal of the play. FST’s Executive Director Emily Yates echoed these words, inviting any and all interested students to join the festivities.
