Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at Sand Harbor of Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park affords extraordinary evenings of exceptional entertainment on the beach for patrons of all ages and, under the stewardship of the company’s Board of Directors and Festival management, it has also become one of the most acclaimed cultural events in the United States.

LTSF’s professional productions of Shakespeare and other classic plays/musicals are enjoyed by approximately 30,000 patrons each summer. The Festival’s Showcase Series, which features the best of the region’s arts and cultural organizations, attracts an additional 6,000 patrons. Furthermore, the company’s D.G.
