  The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival is located at Boscobel on Route 9D in Garrison, NY 10524, just eight miles north of the Bear Mountain Bridge in the Hudson River Valley.

The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival began in 1987 with a modest outdoor production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream performed under the stars in a meadow at Manitoga, in Garrison, New York. One year later, Boscobel Restoration, a Hudson River estate in Garrison, became the Festival’s new site. It offered a magnificent setting, ample parking, and an established reputation as a tourist attraction. Once in its new home and under a big tent, the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival grew dramatically.

The Festival is dedicated to producing the plays of Shakespeare with an economy of style that focuses its energy and resources on script, actors, and audience. We communicate the stories with energy, clarity and invention and 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.

Reviews Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"Far more than the starry productions in Central Park, Mr. O'Brien's vivacious interpretations make Shakespeare breathe in the present tense, but without hyperventilating." "Few stages have wings like those of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, where the theater is an open-sided tent perched on a riverside knoll." For a classic summer night of theater, the glorious grounds of Boscobel provide perfect set and setting. Pre-theater picnicking sets the mood as festival-goers choose their view of the Hudson Highlands. Press blue button for season schedules, plays, and more about the Shakespeare Festival.

Before the play begins, picnic on the spectacular grounds of Boscobel Restoration, or eat at one of many excellent restaurants in Cold Spring and Garrison; and then enjoy an enchanting Shakespearean performance. What a wonderful way to spend an evening!
