The story

Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival in Garrison

Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival stages professional productions of Shakespeare and other classic and contemporary works at its purpose-built theater in Garrison, overlooking the Hudson River. Founded in the early 1990s, the company now performs from spring through fall in a modern indoor-outdoor venue that replaced its original open-air tent setting.

Its outdoor Shakespeare identity and destination setting make it a strong cultural row.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The theater's setting on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River and the Hudson Highlands gives productions a scenic backdrop few American Shakespeare companies can match, with the surrounding landscape becoming an unofficial part of the staging itself

02

The mystery stays covered

The company's relatively recent purpose-built theater, replacing its long-running outdoor tent, gives it modern production capability while preserving the connection to the natural riverside setting that shaped its identity from the very start of the company's history
