Every summer for over 30 years, Tahoe residents and visitors have been entranced by the timeless words of William Shakespeare, set against the dramatic backdrop of Lake Tahoe and a starry sky. Comedies, tragedies, and even a special performance featuring Shakespeare's complete condensed works delight patrons who settle into Adirondack chairs and munch on gourmet fare from several booths set up by local restaurants inside the gates. This annual festival is perfect for a first date or a family outing. Many visitors bring their own picnic baskets and wine to enjoy during the performance. Get to the gates early to get in line for a good seat.
