HSC also provides customized showcases for classroom and assembly programs. Depending on your needs or educational curriculum, we can produce programs featuring Shakespeare or other playwrights and authors that are currently being studied by your students. Combined with question and answer sessions with the actors and hand outs featuring interesting subject matter information, these live performances are a great supplement to any classroom program.
Summer Shakespeare Festival in the Parks
Where it all began! The oldest and primary stage program for the Hudson Shakespeare Company, our summer program of free Shakespeare in the parks began as staged readings for specific area parks in Jersey City, NJ and since has grown into a multi-city and multi-state tour for each of our summer productions. HSC produces 4 full shows, one for each month of the summer. While Shakespeare reigns supreme among our summer shows, HSC has also recently expanded into featuring other classical titles, such as our 2002 production of the Greek tragedy Antigone and plans to expand this repertoire for future seasons. To view pictures and information concerning our summer programs please click on the Past Productions tab to view our past shows and the HSC Venues tab for information concerning all our current staging areas.
HSC Second Stage
Our Second Stage program produces a wide range of titles during the off-summer season (September-April). While concentrating primarily on modern playwrights, we have begun in recent seasons to offer classical productions as well. We have performed in such varied locations as city courtrooms, public library community rooms, civic centers and museums. These shows, like our summer program are all self contained productions, that can brought in and taken out on a per performance basis and usually require no special arrangements from a hosting organization or venue. Specialized shows utilizing a venue's lighting and sound system are also available with us through advanced arrangement.
