Shakespeare at Sand Harbor has been a much looked forward to summer event for what seems like forever. Locals have been long familiar with the fun, food and entertainment that is part and parcel of this yearly month long theater extravaganza. If you’re a visitor or a new resident, this may be all new to you – and you’re in for a real treat!
From Shakespeare at Sand Harbor website
Located on the East Shore of Lake Tahoe at Sand Harbor State Park, the venue is a natural amphitheater – albeit one with sand under your feet instead of concrete. You’ll view the stage while overlooking the lake’s light sandy beach and crystal clear aqua waters, making this one of the most magical spots at Lake Tahoe to spend a summer evening of entertainment.

This year’s Shakespeare play is Romeo and Juliet. You’ll be swept away to another place and time, although what is truly fun about the theater groups interpretation of Shakespeare’s plays, is that the time is not necessarily of the Elizabethan era.
Also, much to our enjoyment, the festival has added much more to the nightly entertainments than just Shakespeare’s plays. Looking for something with a little less drama? This year, The Fantastics, the World’s longest running musical, has been added to the playbill. On Mondays, which is the theater group’s night off, there are a variety of other entertainments as well. Among some of the shows will be the Ballet version of Romeo and Juliet (I saw Giselle a few years back, and it was wonderful!)
The well respected Reno Philharmonic will also be performing two separate shows: ‘Broadway on the Beach’ and ‘Beatles on the Beach’. (I’m down for those two! Who’s coming with me?!!!)
There are many different seating options, some including dining service, so do go to their website for more information. There is great food and drink available at the venue too, but as us long time viewers know, packing a picnic basket full of good eats to go with your good friends and good wine is half the fun!

Summer in Tahoe! Now is the time to buy or sell a home!
I have just listed a sweet home at Donner Lake. If you’re unfamiliar with this area, it has Donner Memorial State Park at one end and West End Beach at the other. In between are many public piers for year round enjoyment.
It’s close to all of the ski areas on Donner Summit and has easy access to I-80. This area is considered part of Truckee, and ‘downtown’ is a quick ride on Donner Pass Road to restaurants, shops and groceries. The local bus can practically pick you up at your door. Well, almost…but you get the gist.
Located at 13600 Donner Pass Road, the home is on a sunny lot, close to Sticks Market and Donner Kitchen Restaurant.
2 Bedroom 1 Bath 720 Square Feet
Asking Price: $270,000
Cottage style home across from Donner Lake. Close to public piers and enjoying the lake. Property has natural gas heat and gas woodstove. Laminate flooring throughout. Utility room has laundry and good storage. Electrical panel has been upgraded, exterior was painted in June. Large backyard is fenced. Great location for cycling into town for shopping, events and downtown Truckee.
