Description
The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival brings summer audiences Shakespeare’s deliciously scandalous “Measure for Measure,” the hilariously scheming duos of “Much Ado About Nothing” and the premiere of the Urban Village Music Series featuring rotating artists each Monday night. Tickets for the 2009 Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, July 11 – Aug. 23, 2009, are now available for online purchase at www.LakeTahoeShakespeare.com.

“The summer season comes alive with the Festival that serves as a cornerstone of summer events at Lake Tahoe,” said Catherine Atack, executive director of the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. “The Festival provides audiences the unique combination of a stunning lakeside location, gourmet food and drink services provided by Shakespeare’s Kitchen and performances seven nights a week throughout the six week schedule. Focusing on the rich humor of this season’s comedic performances, our hope is to provide Festival-goers with a lighthearted escape and a refreshing outdoor setting to spend time recharging with friends and family. We look forward to welcoming back our loyal fans and introducing first-timers to the magic that is summer at the Lake.”

The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival has been nominated one of the top events in the USA and one of the top ten events in Nevada, by Top Events USA. The initial list of top events of each state was the result of intense research and input from various sources including travel journalists, travel professionals, tourism offices and public opinion. Since the launch of the site, nominations, comments and suggestions from visitors help to refine and update Top Events USA.
