A final evening with Mark Twain at Lake of the Sky Amphitheater happening July 21
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Enjoy two Chautauqua performances on the same stage on Friday, July 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lake of the Sky Amphitheater at the Taylor Creek Visitor Center.
This program will begin with a 15-20 minute presentation by John "Snowshoe" Thompson, the “Mailman of the Sierra”, and end with Snowshoe introducing Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain.
For the last three decades, Chautauqua performer McAvoy Layne has brought Mark Twain to life on the Lake of the Sky Amphitheater stage. Reportedly a favorite stage for both McAvoy and Mark! If you haven't seen McAvoy as the legendary Twain, this will be your last chance at the amphitheater located at the Taylor Creek Visitor Center.
As the audience experiences Layne's performance as Twain (they really do seem like the same person), the amphitheater allows them to look out over the mountains and the meadows, and see what Twain meant when he said, “The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine. Bracing and delicious. And why shouldn’t it be? It is the same the angels breathe."
Taylor Creek Visitor Center is located at Visitor Center Road, CA-89, South Lake Tahoe.
