Reading of 154 Sonnets of Shakespeare (in honor of Valentine's Day) - Monday Feb. 16 "Sonnet Fest 2015" - O'Shaughnessy Hall, Univ. of Notre Dame, IN

11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

We invite you to join us as a reader or an observerfor SonnetFest 2015, our sixth annual reading of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets in celebration of Valentine's Day on Monday, February 16, 2015. 

In the past five years the event has proved so popular that we are continuing this annual tradition where members of the community gather together to bring Shakespeare's beautiful ruminations on love (and so much more) to life in the Great Hall of O'Shaughnessy from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. on  Monday, 2/16/15.

We are particularly interested in a diverse reading—even if it delves into the unconventional. In the past we have had readings in Korean, Spanish, Filipino, Italian, Japanese, French, Russian, Parseltongue, Morse code, and even Klingon! It is wonderful to hear Shakespeare as he is heard in so many different corners of "the globe" (and beyond!).
