Macbeth, Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Fest 2026

Macbeth is presented outdoors at the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, situated on the shore of Lake Tahoe at Sand Harbor within Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park. The festival operates from early July to late August, offering evening performances nightly under the stars. Macbeth is a featured production alongside The Heart of Robin Hood, with shows typically beginning at 7:30 p.m. from Tuesdays through Sundays. The location is integral to the experience, as audiences view Shakespeare with Lake Tahoe as a backdrop from Sand Harbor. This production of Macbeth is directed by Sara Bruner, the festival's Producing Artistic Director. It is recommended for ages 12 and up, or younger individuals who can handle the play's mature themes. The festival, a summer tradition on the East Shore for over fifty years, sometimes includes transportation, park entry, and seating in its packages from Carson City.
