Welcome to the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival's membership program, Take a Bow. This program provides a variety of exciting new benefits to our returning and new contributors.

Over the last six years, the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival (LTSF) has changed dramatically; increasing the quality of our performances and making significant improvements to the theatre including building the Warren Edward Trepp stage. We have introduced the D.G. Menchetti Young Shakespeare Program , a FREE series of performance for children and young adults over 12 matinee presentations. The following items have been designated of great importance to our audience, Board and staff. Using your generous contributions we will work towards fulfilling these objectives:

• Maximizing the use of Sand Harbor Amphitheatre
• Improving our educational outreach program to include FREE workshops for children that can be implemented in our region's schools 
• Increasing the number of Equity Actors
• Improving the landscaping surrounding the theatre at Sand Harbor
• Free Shuttle service to Sand Harbor
• Improved lighting in the parking lot
