Shakespeare in the State Park: Pericles at Long Pond Ironworks

The Friends of Long Pond Ironworks invite the public to join us on Saturday, August 9, at 5:00 pm for the annual performance of Shakespeare in the State Park. The 2014 production will be Pericles

Shakespeare in the State Park is presented by the Hudson Shakespeare Company, a nonprofit theater troupe that “utilizes the best young and experienced actors, directors and crew from around the tristate area.” The production will be presented outdoors, in front of an 18th century building within the Long Pond Ironworks Historic District. (In case of rain, the performance will be relocated to the park's Visitors Center.)

Shakespeare in the State Park is free and open to the public. The performance will begin at 5:00 pm. Please bring your own lawn chairs and bug spray. The venue is ADA-accessible. The Friends of Long Pond Ironworks will be offering cold water.
