Christopher Davis and Jeanne Gang to be Honored at Hudson Valley Shakespeare 2026 Gala
The gala will feature one-night-only performances featuring the talent of past and current HVS company members, musicians, and other performers.
Hudson Valley Shakespeare will present the Rooted + Rising: 2026 Gala, which will take place on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 5:00pm at The Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center.
This year’s gala will honor two visionary leaders whose extraordinary contributions made Hudson Valley Shakespeare’s permanent home possible: Christopher Davis, whose transformative gift of 98 acres established the foundation for HVS’s future, and Jeanne Gang, the acclaimed architect whose design for the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center creates a profound connection among performance, audience, and landscape.
Hudson Valley Shakespeare will gather its community of supporters to celebrate the inaugural season of the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center, a landmark moment decade in the making. The evening will be a theatrical and immersive experience shaped by the land, the art, and the people who have brought HVS to this transformational moment. We are deeply grateful to our corporate sponsors and host committee members whose support helps make this celebratory evening possible.
The gala will feature one-night-only performances featuring the talent of past and current HVS company members, musicians, and other performers. Details will be announced at a later date.
