Media Contacts
New York musician Omar Alexander and his band Soulare are joining the cast of the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival's non-Shakespeare production of "CAMBIO" each Monday night. The band infuses a new dimension of musical energy and excitement to the production combining a dynamic blend of Latin, world beat, contemporary funk and soul rhythms with English and Spanish lyrics. Individually, members of Soulare have shared stages and studios with a host of salsa, rock, jazz, Latin and R&B greats including Bruce Springsteen, Maceo Parker, Gloria Estefan and Norah Jones. "CAMBIO" is an original musical love story set in modern day Havana and is about change happening today in revolutionary Cuba. Co-written by Festival Artistic Director Jan Powell and Portland, Ore., playwright Carol Dane, "CAMBIO" makes its debut at this year's Festival. "CAMBIO" is joined on the Festival's playbill by Shakespeare favorites "A Midsummer Night's Dream" rotating nightly Tuesday through Sunday with "Richard III."
