Mission:
Rooted in the landscape of the Hudson Valley, with the plays of William Shakespeare as our touchstone, HVS engages the widest possible audience in a theatrical celebration of our shared humanity.
We communicate the stories with energy, clarity and invention and we distill rather than embellish the language and action. We challenge ourselves and our audiences to take a fresh look at what is essential in Shakespeare’s plays.
In 2022 the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival began its next chapter with a permanent home gifted by philanthropist Christopher Davis. The gifted parcel of land will offer HVSF the long-term stability of a secure foundation and will serve as a year-round resource for theater artists, audiences, and the entire Hudson Valley community.
