It’s the return of the local’s favorite show, “not voted the best of tahoe four years running,” about the trials & tribulations of being, well, a local here in beautiful South Lake Tahoe.  This latest incarnation of the comedic musical is complete with brand new characters and songs, but masterpieces like “50 on 50” and “Tahoe Time” are still included.  Be sure to get your tickets early as it always sells out.

For information and advance tickets, call (530) 541-4975.

This hypnotizing pianist and original composer was classically trained from the age of six through private lessons.  After receiving both his Bachelors of Music in Piano Performance and his Bachelors of Arts in Mathematics from University of Nevada, Reno in 1999, he went on to earn his Masters of Music in Piano Performance in 2001. 

Although he never thought of himself as a composer, he has more than proved himself with his original album Ostinato, his debut recording that includes four movements of inspirational virtuosity.

This will be an evening of musical mastery, both emotionally intense and classically impressive.
