We are honored to be a part of this project! #lightingdesign #hudsonvalleyshakespeare #leedplatinum
Yesterday we celebrated the groundbreaking for The Samuel H. Scripps Theatre Center at Hudson Valley Shakespeare, which when complete will become the first purpose-built LEED Platinum theater in the United States! For HVS’s new home, architecture and nature work together to create a transformative new cultural destination for New York and the wider performing arts community. We have designed a gently curved, timber-framed shell that opens directly onto the revitalized landscape designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects and frames spectacular views of the highlands along the Hudson River. The new breeze-filled theater will extend and augment HVS's celebrated tradition of open-air and immersive performances by providing vastly improved visitor circulation, back-of-house facilities, and technical capabilities. It was great to commemorate this milestone with Governor Kathy Hochul as well as our partners at Fisher Dachs Associates, Threshold Acoustics, Thornton Tomasetti, Buro Happold, Tillotson Design Associates, Flyleaf Creative, Tectonic Engineering Consultants, Geologists & Land Surveyors, D.P.C., Consigli Construction Co., Inc., and many more. Stay tuned for updates as we set the stage for Hudson Valley Shakespeare’s 2026 season! 🎭
