Garrison, NY

Rooted in the landscape of the Hudson Valley, with the plays of William Shakespeare as our touchstone, HVSF engages the widest possible audience in a theatrical celebration of our shared humanity. Founded in 1987, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF) is a critically acclaimed (The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal), professional, non-profit theater company based in Garrison, NY, one-hour north of Manhattan. The Festival has established a reputation for lucid, engaging, and highly inventive productions staged under an iconic, open-air Theater Tent overlooking the Hudson River. In recent years, the Festival has also ventured beyond the Tent, touring its work to other venues throughout the Hudson Valley, transferring productions to other theaters, engaging its community through radically participatory art-making. Through outstanding live performances, engaging education programs, and accessible community initiatives, HVSF serves roughly 50,000 people each year.
We’re proud to announce our complete lineup for the 2023 Summer Season, which will feature a double-bill of Shakespeare plays, the world premiere of a new music-theater piece, our educational tour, HVSF2 readings, and two interactive, site-specific events bookending the season. https://hvshakespeare.org/
