Nobody knows how to throw a better party (or put on a better show) and this year\u2019s Insider\u2019s Behind The Scenes Gala<\/span> is sure to be one of the best. (Of course the secret ingredient to a great party is the guest list and Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival friends, new and old, make for an A-List that can\u2019t be beat!)<\/p>\n On Sunday June 14 guests are invited under the HVSF tent at Boscobel to get an exclusive look at behind-the-scenes teasers of Pericles<\/span> and Much Ado About Nothing<\/span>; enjoy cocktails and dinner on the great lawn and be the audience for the final dress rehearsal of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)<\/span>.<\/p>\n The Insiders Behind The Scenes Gala<\/span> begins with the teasers at 4:30pm followed by dinner and a silent auction at 5:30. The evening concludes with the final dress rehearsal of last season\u2019s runaway hit, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)<\/span> starring Christopher Edwards, Jason O\u2019Connell and Kurt Rhoads.<\/p>\n In his review of the 2008 HVSF production of The Complete works, Journal News theater critic Peter D. Kramer wrote: \u201cThe Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)\u201d is a madcap whirlwind of wigs, crowns, kneepads and running shoes. It\u2019s part marathon, part sprint, part Groucho, Chico and Harpo \u2026 it might easily have been written by the always inventive Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival. It\u2019s certainly in keeping with O\u2019Brien & Co.\u2019s emphasis on character, words and performance. It\u2019s smart and fast and thoroughly accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n Be on the inside track and join the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival family under the tent for the Insiders Behind The Scenes Gala<\/span> on Sunday June 14 at 4:30pm. It won\u2019t be a great party without you!
