Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival - Young Shakespeare

About the Event

Young Shakespeare, a D.G. Menchetti Education Program, features an interactive, hour-long adaptation of our mainstage production created with the young audience member in mind. Young Shakespeare has connected over 80,000 children and their families to the classics since its inception.

This FREE program (suggested donation $5 per adult; $1 per child) affords an amazing live theater experience for young audience members and their families while simultaneously providing opportunities for young and aspiring actors from local schools to participate in the production as performers!

Join us this summer as the Young Shakespeare cast of professional actors and students from local high schools presents an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s hilarious coming of age comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This hour-long, interactive adaptation is specifically designed to entertain children and adults alike!

Step into the enchanting world of this Shakespearean comedy, where a whimsical cast of characters embarks on a journey filled with intertwining romantic escapades. Follow the adventures of four young lovers, a hapless group of amateur actors, and a band of mischievous fairies as they navigate the enchanting depths of a magical forest.

We want to hear from you if you have an event to share or updates to this event.
