With an incredible setting and scene-stealing back drop of Lake Tahoe, this event is certainly not “much ado about nothing.” Lake Tahoe’s Shakespeare Festival is famous in these parts. If you’re in Tahoe (north or south), find time to sit under the stars in this beautiful outdoor amphitheater, and enjoy this classic Tahoe summer pastime. Visit the festival’s site, and click on the “for kids” window. You’ll find well-designed programs for children that help kids become comfortable and familiar with the Bard’s important works.
