- Open Play at Tahoe Tots Spot
- At least two whole hours of fun for you and your youngster... Open play
is the perfect solution for children needing to burn off some energy. Kids
can start out by bouncing down the 15’ long tumble track into the Ball Pit
filled with 5000 balls! Then they can navigate through tunnels, climbing
obstacles, and the giant crayon balance beam. When they’ve had enough
gymnastics they can move over to the giant Play Room filled with soft foam
blocks, bean bag chairs, toys, and the play hut tunnel system. As if that
weren’t enough they can express themselves through art and music in the 3rd
room known as the Arts and Crafts Room. Let your child color all over the
chalk board painted wall or rearrange the alphabet on the fully magnetic
wall. Every Monday and Friday there is a new art project that will be led by
an instructor and displayed for all others to see!
- Starts: 10am-1pm on Mondays-Saturdays & 4-6pm on Wednesdays. Cost: $10.

Measure for Measure
|
Much Ado about Nothing
|
In a society overrun by brothels, opportunists,
moralists, and politicians, the ruling Duke Vincentio appoints his
stern deputy, Angelo, to restore the peace. But when the virtuous
and beautiful Isabella comes to Angelo to plead for her brother’s
life, will he succumb to the vices he so abhors? And will the Duke
act quickly enough to save the day and once more put his Kingdom in
order?
A provocative play of political intrigue and moral responsibility,
part bed-trick, part head-trick, part mystery, and part love story,
Measure for Measure remains one of Shakespeare’s most fascinating
and intriguing dramatic comedies. (Rated PG)
|
Returning war heroes, sweethearts in waiting, noble
Princes, mischievous brothers, and a bumbling constable are the lovable and
laughable characters inhabiting this rollicking play. Presided over by the
sparring, wise-cracking, mismatched lovers Beatrice and Benedick, this
sparkling romantic comedy of wit and banter, fools and tricksters, takes us
on a tumbling journey of laughter and love, and happy endings all around.
Much Ado About Nothing is Shakespeare at his best, as he proves to us yet
again that when it comes to falling love, it is never too late. (Rated PG) |
| Showing: August 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 19, 21, 23 |
Showing: August 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 |
