Young Shakespeare, a D.G. Menchetti Education Program

Each year the D.G. Menchetti Education Program presents an interactive, one-hour adaptation of a Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival mainstage production that is created with the young audience member in mind. In addition to Sand Harbor, the production travels to other venues throughout the Reno/Sparks, Minden and Tahoe/Truckee region.

Performances are free (suggested donation $5 per adult; $1 per child), but reservations are required due to limited seating capacity at Sand Harbor and other venues. Reservations are available from the Young Shakespeare website.
