Tickets-Entertainment

Item Description

Two tickets to a show of your choosing during the 2016 season, excluding opening nights and special events.

Founded in 1987, HVSF’s primary home is a spectacular open-air theater tent at Boscobel House and Gardens in Garrison, NY. Every summer, more than 35,000 patrons join us there for a twelve-week season of plays presented in repertory, with the natural beauty of the Hudson Highlands as our backdrop. Our exuberant productions garner consistent critical acclaim from regional and national media (The New York Times, New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal) for communicating great stories with clarity, energy and imagination. HVSF also takes the magic of Shakespeare and live theater beyond our tent by touring shows throughout the Hudson Valley and by presenting limited runs of classic plays in local landmark venues. Our acclaimed arts education programs include training for early-career theater artists, professional development for educators, and programs and performances that serve more than 40,000 middle and high school students each year.

"As HVSF prepares to celebrate 30 years in the Hudson Valley, we also join Shakespeare theaters around the world to mark 400 years of Shakespeare's art triumphing over his death. We will produce a trio of masterpieces from our resident playwright: As You Like It, the glorious comedy of love and imagination, set in the forest of Arden; an all-female production of Macbeth, which will focus on the Witches as the prime movers in the tragedy of Scotland, offering a new perspective on this brutal and spellbinding play; and Measure for Measure, a searing comic drama about the delicate interplay between justice and mercy, between love and desire, between the head and the heart.”

The three Shakespeare plays will run in repertory from June through the end of August. Measure for Measure, will be directed by McCallum; As you Like It, will be directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch, who directed last season’s acclaimed production of An Iliad, and the Fall 2014 production of Turn of the Screw; and Macbeth, will be directed by Obie Award winner Lee Sunday Evans (A Beautiful Day in November on the Banks of the Greatest of the Great Lakes) who will make her HVSF debut in 2016. In addition, a milestone production of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town will be directed by HVSF alum John Plummer (Twelfth Night).
