Hudson Shakespeare Company

William Shakespeare once wrote “All the World’s a Stage” and no other line can better describe the history and philosophy of The Hudson Shakespeare Company. We are a regional touring Shakespeare festival that performs in a variety of non-theatrical venues.

From the Bard’s plays to modern theater, parks to courtrooms, our mission has always been a simple one — to give our audience the best theatrical experience possible. Our philosophy in performing Shakespeare’s plays is as equally approachable, the plays were meant for everyone to enjoy. We present the language in a straight forward conversational manner, while staying true to it’s inherent poetry.

We present our shows very much as Shakespeare’s company did: provide the atmosphere and let the words fire the imagination. Today HSC is the leading producer of outdoor theater on the NJ side of the Hudson river and is home to the Hudson County Shakespeare Festival of Hoboken and Jersey City and affiliated Bergen County Shakespeare Festival.
