Hudson Valley Shakespeare’s Glorious New Home
For nearly 20 years, the Hudson Valley Shakespeare company had been performing in a striking white, six-masted tent erected each year on the property of the historic house and garden Boscobel, near Cold Spring NY, overlooking the Hudson just a few miles north of the new Garrison site, and just 50 miles north of New York City. While the audience sat in folding chairs on an aging platforming system, and toilets were, well, rustic (rented trailers nearby), the tent beautifully framed a long view through a graceful arch of fabric out to the lawn and the splendid bucolic countryside beyond. In the fading evening light, this stunning backdrop inspired the company’s tradition of show-specific entrances of individual characters or the entire cast from the far end of the lawn, appearing up over a rise and walking, marching, sometimes running toward the theater. This would become a beloved part of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare experience, like the picnics before and the ice cream from Moo Moo’s Creamery at intermission.
