Rooted in the landscape of the Hudson Valley, with the plays of William Shakespeare as our touchstone, the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival engages the widest possible audience in a theatrical celebration of our shared humanity. Our theater lives in the here and now, at the intersection between the virtuosity of the actor, the imagination of the audience, and the inspiration of the text.
