Plays will include The Comedy of Errors
Hudson Valley Shakespeare on Wednesday (Nov. 13) announced its 2025 season, which will likely be the last under the tent before the opening of the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center at its Philipstown campus for the 2026 season.
The troupe will stage William Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors, directed by Ryan Quinn; Thornton Wilder’s The Matchmaker, directed by Artistic Director Davis McCallum and featuring Kurt Rhoads and Nance Williamson; and Octet, a chamber choir musical by Dave Malloy and directed by Amanda Dehnert.
The festival also will debut HVS Cabaret, four nights of works-in-progress at the Valley Restaurant, including a solo musical from Bryce Pinkham, Zack Fine, Rona Siddiqui and Kirya Traber.
HVS said it will move its educational production, which in 2025 will be Julius Caesar, from the spring to the fall and premiere the play under the tent before touring community venues and middle and high schools. The new works featured in the HVS2 series will be King Lear, directed by McCallum and featuring Rhoads, and The Minotaur, by Luis Quintero.
