WordWave 2026
WordWave is an annual celebration of the power of words. The underlying principle of WordWave is that stories, when shared with others, change lives. They entertain, educate, preserve traditions, and help us to connect with each other in profound ways. WordWave provides a venue for locals and visitors to experience these shared stories on stage.
WordWave features an annual one-act play writing competition that opens late fall and runs thru mid- January. The contest culminates in a winners’ performance event in the spring. Three submissions will be selected each year as the winners and each winner will receive a cash prize and be offered a 2-night stay in South Lake Tahoe to see their work directed and produced as a staged reading at the historic Valhalla Boathouse Theatre.
WordWave’s Annual Writer’s event will be held on May 1-2 at 7pm will include the meet-the-Writer’s Wine & Dessert Reception on May 2 immediately following in the Grand Hall. Special thank you to our Reception sponsor, Cork and More!
