Brush up your Shakespeare: the Las Vegas Shakespeare Company is looking for people to help them read the Bard for 24 hours.

The Bard-A-Thon will start at midnight Sunday and last through 11:59 p.m. Monday at the Las Vegas Shakespeare Theatre, 821 Las Vegas Blvd North. The reading festival will commemorate William Shakespeare’s 448th birthday. No special skills are needed to read, just a love of the playwright and a desire to read.

The company is looking for more than 100 readers to keep the Shakespeare going for 24 hours. Besides the continual reading, there will also be films, music and workshops. Those interested in reading should contact Kimm Schwert through lvshakes.org, or by calling 220-5872 by Friday.
