Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival summer schedule

Imagine your toes in the sand, a fantastic bottle of wine nearby, a gourmet meal in hand and first-class entertainment before you…all while basking in a perfect Lake Tahoe sunset with your friends or special someone beside you. You’re not dreaming, you’re experiencing the thrill of Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at Sand Harbor, a Nevada State park near Incline Village.

Once again this summer, there will be one Shakespeare play and one non-Shakespeare play alternating on the outdoor stage. In 2018 the two plays will be Macbeth and Beehive: The 60s Musical, and will be on the stage July 6 to August 26, 2018.

MACBETH

Shakespeare’s Towering Tragedy
In a maelstrom of politics and magic, Shakespeare’s towering tragedy melds unforgettable characters and incomparable language in a fascinating drama of heroism and corruption. We invite you to join us for an eerie evening of dazzling darkness, where specters and riddles foretell the futures of kings. But beware: “something wicked this way comes.”

BEEHIVE: THE 60s MUSICAL
Off Broadway’s Groovy Retro-Hit Revue
An exuberant jukebox celebration of the women musicians who made the 60s truly memorable, Beehive transports audiences on a nostalgic musical journey back in time. Featuring forty classic chart-toppers (and Aqua Net-glistening coiffures, of course), this groovy retro-revue highlights hits that range from the Supremes’ memorable melodies to Janis Joplin’s heartrending rasp to Aretha Franklin’s soul and more. So break out your vintage best…and prepare to sing along, dance in the aisles and relive one of music’s truly golden eras.
