If you desire a little bit of culture with your mountain experience, then you are in for a treat with the annual Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. This festival is a coming together of highly talented theatrical acts interlaced with the elegance of fine dining set in an al fresco ambiance that looks out upon a luxurious Tahoe setting. Most summer seasons there is a Shakespeare play, a non-Shakespeare play as well as several nights of varied musical performances. One of the greatest aspects of the summer-long festival is its D.G. Menchetti Young Shakespeare Program, which gives youth an opportunity to access the stage. Each showing at the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival is combined with the impressive dining menu of the on-site restaurant, Shakespeare's Kitchen, which provides an excellent array of gourmet food and drinks. Patrons are also invited to bring their own picnics. Beyond the delectable dining options, there is a lovely cocktail area as well as a place to purchase keepsakes to take home with you. To take advantage of the entire evening, it is highly recommended that you come early and enjoy the pre-show festivities, mingle and take in the stunning surrounding scenery.
