April 23, 2016 marks the 400-year anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. In honor of the enduring legacy of his plays and poetry, the city of Bozeman will celebrate with SHAKESPEARE FLASH MOBS. On Saturday 23 April, the words of Shakespeare will erupt all over town: in coffee shops, bookstores, grocery stores, galleries, restaurants, trails, and other locations.

Would you like to be a part of the Shakespeare flash mob? You could recite a soliloquy or a sonnet, sing a Shakespearean song, perform a small scene with your friends, dress up in costumes or stay in your usual clothes…anything Shakespearean, in any public place in or around Bozeman.

The Country Bookshelf will be the Shakespeare Flash-400 headquarters. We’ll be there having refreshments and sharing stories of Shakespearean mobs on this important anniversary.

All ideas welcome! Please contact Gretchen Minton (Gretchen.minton@msu.montana.edu<mailto:Gretchen.minton@msu.montana.edu>) if you are interested.
