Lake Tahoe’s Only One-Act Play Competition & Performance
WordWave is an annual celebration of the power of words. The underlying principle of WordWave is that stories, when shared with others, change lives. They entertain, educate, preserve traditions, and help us to connect with each other in profound ways. WordWave provides a venue for locals and visitors to experience these shared stories on stage.
WordWave features an annual one-act play writing competition that opens in spring and running through summer that culminates in a winners’ event in the fall. Three submissions will be selected each year as the winners and each winner will receive a cash prize and be offered a 2-night stay in South Lake Tahoe to see their work directed and produced as a staged reading at the historic Valhalla Boathouse Theatre.
WordWave will offer two performances in 2024: Our annual Writer’s event will be held on November 2, 2024 at 7pm will include the meet-the-Writer’s Wine & Dessert Reception immediately following in the Grand Hall. We will also offer a matinee on November 3, 2024 at 2pm.
