Join Gretchen Minton and Kevin Brustuen as they discuss Shakespeare and theatre in Montana by looking at the books and stages that have captured Montanans’ imaginations for generations. Gretchen’s engaging new book, Shakespeare in Montana, has just received the 2020 Montana Book Award. She and Kevin will begin by describing how archival research for the book led to fascinating finds about Montana’s long-term love affair with Shakespeare. They will go on to discuss how the research they conducted for that book project became a key inspiration for their theatre company, Montana InSite Theatre (MIST). MIST performs classically inspired texts in outdoor, site-specific locations and has brought welcomed live performance during the pandemic. We hope you can join us for what is sure to be a lively discussion of Shakespeare across the ages and under the Big Sky.
