INCLINE VILLAGE, NV (December , 2020) – Entertainment, family, friends and food/drink will converge under the stars again on the scenic shore of Lake Tahoe this summer as Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival (LTSF) launches its 2021 season. Showcasing live entertainment seven nights a week, July 2 – August 22, 2021 at Sand Harbor, Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park, Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival’s 2021 season is headlined by mega-hit productions of Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare’s sublime battle of wits and wills, and Mamma Mia!, the smash hit feel-good musical. Mamma Mia! (Music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus / Some songs with Stig Anderson / Book by Catherine Johnson / Originally conceived by Judy Craymer) is presented through special arrangement with MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL (MTI).

Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival is committed to patron satisfaction for all 2021 season ticket purchases. The Festival invites audiences to join the theater with hope and optimism for summer 2021. LTSF is planning for a normal season at Sand Harbor, while also readying itself to pivot and accommodate what the uncertain future may bring. Last season’s cancellation was due to unprecedented and unpredictable circumstances. The Festival is ever grateful to its audience for navigating, with generosity and understanding, the theater’s ticket guarantee for its cancelled season. That same ticket guarantee stands for the LTSF’s 2021 season. Audience member ticket purchases are 100% safe.
Beatrice and Benedick would rather exchange scorching insults than sweet nothings in Much Ado About Nothing. However, the pugnacious pair is forced to forge a partnership in order to defend house and honor, and salvage the true love of Hero and Claudio after deceptions destroy the lovers’ wedding day. Will the earnest endeavor to restore a young romance elicit an unexpected change of heart for the effort’s unlikely collaborators as well?
Mamma Mia! takes place on a tiny Greek island, where Sophie is making final preparations for her wedding day in paradise. Little does her mother Donna know that Sophie’s last-minute preparations include sleuthing out who her father may be among three possible candidates that she’s secretly invited. The story-telling magic of pop-hit songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter, family and friendship…which concludes with a trip down the aisle that audiences will never forget!
The LTSF entertainment experience is complimented by al fresco dining at its on-site restaurant – Shakespeare’s Kitchen. Alternatively, patrons may choose to bring their own food or drink for picnicking.
