INCLINE VILLAGE, July 31, 2009 - The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival continues its dancing in the aisles with the last three performances of the Urban Village Monday Night Music Series, Aug. 3, 10 and 17 at Sand Harbor State Park. Known as Lake Tahoe's "party on the beach," the premiere of the Urban Village Monday Night Music Series has featured performances from Broadway to Afro-Cuban and beyond. With just three weeks remaining, there's still time to catch headline acts performing their own style of blues, Latin funk and Soulchestra, an unbeatable combination of classical, contemporary, soul and R&B.
"We've succeeded in creating an atmosphere that truly is a party on the beach with our audience dancing, having fun with their family and friends, while enjoying fabulous live music at our stunning lakeside venue," Catherine Atack, executive director of the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival said. "We continue to see more and more people come out each week to experience our first class entertainment; the momentum of the Urban Village Monday night music series is contagious. For the next three weeks we are giving family and friends the opportunity to come out and enjoy a night under the stars with beautiful Lake Tahoe as the backdrop and dance the night away."
