Hudson Warehouse celebrates its Ninth Season of offering “The Other Free Shakespeare in the Park”.

Thursday – Sunday; June 7 – July 1: Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors
The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins that were accidentally separated at birth. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins, a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities lead to wrongful beatings, a near-seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession.

No tickets required; Just show up and choose a seat on the steps and benches of the monument. For more information visit hudsonwarehouse.net.

Hudson Warehouse celebrates its Ninth Season of offering “The Other Free Shakespeare in the Park”.

Thursday – Sunday; July 12 – August 5: The Rover by Aphra Behn

The “rover” of the play’s title is Willmore, a rakish naval captain, who falls in love with a young woman named Hellena, who has set out to experience love before her brother sends her to a convent. Complications arise when Angellica Bianca, a famous courtesan, falls in love with Willmore and swears revenge on him for his betrayal.
Meanwhile, Hellena’s sister Florinda attempts to marry her true love, Colonel Belvile, rather than the man her brother has selected. The third major plot of the play deals with the provincial Blunt, who becomes convinced that a girl has fallen in love with him but is humiliated when she turns out to be a prostitute and a thief.

Hudson Warehouse celebrates its Ninth Season of offering “The Other Free Shakespeare in the Park”.

Thursday – Sunday; August 9 – September 2: Shakespeare’s Richard III

After a long civil war between the royal family of York and the royal family of Lancaster, England enjoys a period of peace under King Edward IV and the victorious Yorks. But Edward’s younger brother, Richard, resents Edward’s power and the happiness of those around him. Malicious, power-hungry, and bitter about his physical deformity, Richard begins to aspire secretly to the throne—and decides to kill anyone he has to in order to become king.

No tickets required; Just show up and choose a seat on the steps and benches of the monument. For more information visit hudsonwarehouse.net.

12:00 PM–01:00 PM on Friday, August 31, 2012

Lunchtime sounds even better now! Enjoy the ambient acoustics every last Friday of the month. Pack a bag of yummies and drink in the reverberations.

Tres Amigos – country-western-swing-accordion-folk
The Tres Amigos make timeless music. A tight-rope-walking blend of country-western-swing-accordion-folk, The Tres Amigos present high-energy original music and forgotten gems in bold, acrobatic performances. Behind those matching mariachi shirts are virtuosic musicians, delivering the goods in sunny three-part harmony and with all the vibe of your uncle’s old ‘45’s.
