The Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center

On May 14, 2026, Hudson Valley Shakespeare cut the ribbon on its first permanent home, naming it in honor of visionary philanthropist Samuel H. Scripps (1927-2007). Designed to immerse audiences and actors in the rich landscape of the Hudson Valley, its unique indoor-outdoor setting for the company’s open-air productions offers an unparalleled theater experience.

What our audiences are saying

Having the Shakespeare Festival be part of the town just really expanded our cultural horizons and it made a really positive impact on everybody's lives.
-Nat & Anita Prentice (HVS patrons since 2010)

I love what's happening here at Hudson Valley Shakespeare. They are so creative. I am very, very excited for the future.
-Dana Levenberg (NY State Assemblymember, District 95)

It's a beautiful community of people and it's theater in nature, which is just so special. It's a really lovely experience.
-Maria Nalieth (HVS patron since 2025)

We started coming here a very long time ago. We can't wait for the new venue.
-Tom & LouAnn Joyce (HVS patrons since 1992)

I've been attending since the late 90s. It is a wonderful part of every summer for me. I can't wait for next year.
