A Free Public Reading

By WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Directed by RYAN QUINN
A mischievous night in an enchanted forest turns love upside down in Shakespeare’s magical, joyful comedy.

Snake Hill Labs is an evolution of HVS2 and expands Hudson Valley Shakespeare’s commitment to artists and new ideas by creating focused time each season when our acting company comes together with other HVS collaborators to explore, experiment, and create.
Building on our long-standing developmental work and commissioning program, Snake Hill Labs provides artists with space, resources, and paid time to develop new projects. By activating our artists and spaces between mainstage productions, Snake Hill Lab ensures that creativity never goes dormant, and that HVS remains a home for bold ideas and the people who make them.
Each lab will be accompanied by an open-reading. Limited tickets will be available to attend.
