Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival presents: Young Shakespeare | Wednesday | July 29th 2026 | FREE

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. Performances are presented at libraries, schools, and at other partner venues throughout the region. 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!

Full of danger, desire, and the drive for greatness, this fast-paced and interactive production is packed with witches, ghosts, and something wicked. Perfect for audiences of all ages, it’s an entertaining introduction to the relentless exploration of power in Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy of Macbeth.
