A critically-acclaimed regional theater, The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF) inspires and delights audiences with contemporary performances of the works of William Shakespeare.

It is the region’s only professional resident Shakespeare Company, based in the Boscobel estate in Garrison, New York. Each year, The Ridgefield Playhouse offers this show free as part of their commitment to making the timeless plays of Shakespeare accessible to all audiences.
