Unbearable loneliness, crises of confidence, bereavement, loss of hope and struggles with faith are just some of the universal topics being talked about on the stage of the historic Boathouse Theatre at Tahoe’s annual Valhalla Arts, Music and Theatre Festival on the South Shore. “Talking With” is a collection of 10 monologues by 10 characters.

“Talking With” will take the stage Aug. 25-28 at 7:30pm and on Aug. 29 at 2pm. Tickets are $18/$15 per person. On Aug. 26 there will be a Wine Tasting and Play sponsored by Après Wine Bar for $28/person, $50/couple. Tickets are also available without the wine tasting.
