The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival in Cold Spring, NY.,is committed to doing whatever they can to stay open through the end of the season and maintain the health and safety of their audience, artists and staff. To that end, they are now requiring all ticket holders to be vaccinated and masked. This is in response to the increase of community spread of the Delta variant and is in line with the new regulations on Broadway and throughout New York City.
They ask that all ticket holders that are eligible to be vaccinated show proof of vaccination upon arrival on site. Patrons under age 12 can show proof of a negative COVID test within 72 hours. They continue to ask that if you have any symptoms of COVID (cough, fever, runny nose, etc) that you please stay home and call the Box Office to exchange your tickets for another evening or to watch the digital stream. If you do not plan to be vaccinated or you do not feel comfortable attending in person, the Box Office can assist you in arranging for tickets to the digital streamed performance. If you already have a ticket and you need to exchange for a streaming performance, please call or email the box office at 845.265.9575 or email at boxoffice@hvshakespeare.org.
