Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival returns for its 53rd season from July 5 to Aug. 24, 2025, at Sand Harbor featuring Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night,” directed by Sara Bruner, and “Peter and the Starcatcher,” directed by Jaclyn Miller.
“Twelfth Night” begins with a shipwreck that throws lives into disarray, where mistaken identities lead to hilarious havoc and unexpected connections. Viola, stranded and disguised as a boy, falls for the Duke, who pines for Olivia. However, Olivia, in mourning, finds herself smitten with Viola, setting off a comical chain of romantic entanglements. This delightful gem brims with wit, wordplay and whimsy to tell a timeless tale of love, loss and the joyous absurdity of life.
“Peter and the Starcatcher” invites audiences to set sail to explore the Neverland you never knew with this Tony Award-winning prequel that charts a course through Peter’s untold escapades. A dozen actors portray more than 100 unforgettable characters in this high-flying adventure bursting with imagination and ingenious stagecraft. It is a humorous, heartwarming ride through ambition, yearning and the magic of friendship, where you will discover the boy who never grew up before he took flight.
