Hudson Valley Shakespeare

Hudson Valley Shakespeare is gearing up for a landmark summer 2026 with the grand opening of the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center, its first permanent home after nearly four decades of performing under open-air tents and seasonal structures. Set on a scenic 98-acre campus overlooking the Hudson River, the new theater blends thoughtful, sustainable design with the company’s long tradition of immersive storytelling and dramatic repertory. The inaugural season, running June 10 through September 27, will feature Shakespeare’s As You Like It and King Lear alongside a new production of Les Misérables, inviting audiences to experience classic works in a completely reimagined setting. With its combination of breathtaking landscape and world-class performances, Hudson Valley Shakespeare’s 2026 debut promises to be a transformative moment in New York’s cultural calendar.
