Lake Tahoe Summer Evenings

What do you have if you take one famous alpine lake, one legendary playwright and two months of balmy summer nights? The fabulous and enjoyable Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival! The 2009 season begins July 11th and runs through August 23rd. The Festival playbill typically includes two Shakespearean classics full of laughter, love, scheming scandal & dancing in the aisles! I’ve gotten many of my friends “hooked” on these performances because this is Shakespeare like you’ve NEVER seen Shakespeare done before! This season’s productions include Measure for Measure and Much Ado About Nothing. The Festival’s spectacular outdoor venue, a sand amphitheater located at Sand Harbor, uses Lake Tahoe as its stunning backdrop. Guests are welcome to pack their own picnic or dine on the variety of goodies offered at Shakespeare’s Kitchen. For more information and dates, please visit the website at http://www.laketahoeshakespeare.com/

If you enjoy beautiful music and exquisite scenery, you won’t want to miss the Lake Tahoe Music Festival’s amazing 27th season. The LTMF remains the largest summer cultural event benefiting our local communities and is a major attraction in the the West. This exciting concert series begins July 23rd and runs through August 8th. You can enjoy music of all genres including classical favorites, jazz, rock and Broadway while delighting in the surroundings of the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe. Th e concerts take place at different venues including Homewood Mt. Resort, Tahoe Donner, Donner Lake and Old Greenwood in Truckee. Check out their website for dates and performances at http://www.tahoemusic.org/. Two favorties of mine this season will be Huey Lewis and the News on July 25th and Bozz Skaggs on August 1st!
