Boscobel, a Hudson River estate in Garrison, is the Festival's performance site. It offers a magnificent setting, ample parking, grounds personnel and an established reputation as a tourist attraction. In its new home and under a big tent, the Festival has grown dramatically, from its first audience of 230 to over 32,000 in 2009.

Love's Labour's Lost 

by William Shakespeare

King Ferdinand and his three friends devote themselves to three years of study. No women will be allowed within a mile of court—that is, until the Princess of France arrives with her entourage. Disguise, deception, and mischief abound as the heart proves stronger than the mind. Don't miss Shakespeare's romantic comedy with a most surprising ending. 

Romeo and Juliet 

by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers ignite the stage in this romantic tragedy. Love, lust and revenge fuel the plot of this classic play as a family feud seals the young couple's fate. Don't miss this timeless classic.
 

The 39 Steps 

Adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan, and from the movie by Alfred Hitchcock. 

A fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theater! The 39 Steps is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a wildly talented cast of four), an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance! Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python, and you have an evening of fun for the whole family.
