Our director of fine arts and culture, who blatantly refuses to allow her name to be published on our blog “among the ruffians and fishes”, has once again reminded us of an upcoming fine arts event Saturday in West Yellowstone that deserves your utmost attention.  

As an aside, yes, we do have some culture here in Montana.  There aren’t many places you can have high tea served (it would be a very doubtful proposition in West Yellowstone), but most of the population in the state can read, we can color in the lines when we have to, and we even have libraries in most communities.  Bozeman’s new library is in fact quite impressive.  Heck, we even have some institutions of higher learning in the state. 

We are blessed to have one of the top notch Shakespearian theatre groups in the nation based right in Bozeman – Montana’s Shakespeare in the Parks.  This summer they are offering performances – for free - of Macbeth and All’s Well That End’s Well.  The troupe will be in West Yellowstone Saturday, and will perform All’s Well That Ends Well on the Library Lawn at 6 pm.    For those of you who would rather feast on a very good Macbeth performance, the troupe will be in Bozeman on Friday the 25th performing at Valley West at 6 pm.  You can fish the Gallatin and even go right to the performance in your fishing gear;  we’re pretty casual here in Bozeman. 

Yes, there will be a fine caddis hatch on the Madison Saturday evening, but the people hatch in West is just as interesting (if not more so in some respects), and you can boast to your friends back home that you met Shakespeare (not the tackle manufacturer, either) in West Yellowstone.  Hey, everybody comes to West to fish during the season, even some of the old dead guys.   

Just last week we saw Elvis in a pair of blue waders wandering out of a pub in West……
