INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — With so many outdoor activities at Lake Tahoe, things to do indoors, while appreciated, are limited — especially when it comes to arts and culture.

Tahoe Players has branched out from providing youth services in dance and drama and has created an awe-inspiring, all-inclusive community arts center at 920 Incline Way, now encompassing suites B, C, D and E.

The center boasts a brand new visual arts studio, music room, indoor play areas, reading/writing suite and large dance floor, which all can be used by all ages.



In addition to a host of new classes such as piano, guitar, theater, painting, singing and dance, the arts center is fashioned to provide a fun place for youth to meet after school.

It is also a place for parents of young children to play when they find themselves in need of an outing, parties, live music, conversation or community events. Tahoe Players invites anyone to host, teach, learn, volunteer, inspire, or interact with the arts center because the arts are for everyone.



Tahoe Players Association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that relies on the generosity of others and attendance of our theatrical productions, such as our recent smash hits, “Les Miserables” and “Shrek The Musical.”

Two generous donations have been given toward improvements needed to open the center, but we are still in very great need of funding to help secure operational costs.

By increasing proficiency in music, theater, dance, cinema, recording, and visual and digital media, Tahoe Players will continue to add value, growth and culture to the community and its members.
