Congratulations for a wonderful NYT review of the inaugural King Lear in your new home… “McCallum’s “King Lear” provides one of those perspective shifts in a wordless opening sequence, during which the widower king loses his queen, a woman that Shakespeare’s text never mentions. As Rhoads first strides into the stage space from outside, a robed female figure stays behind at the edge of the greensward, gazing at the dreaming river. Right at the end of the show, we think back on this image as a kind of solace. Lear endures terrible trials, and he loses everything, including his life. Still, McCallum’s staging suggests, he will at least then join his queen. That initial sequence showed us what death looks like. And if we’ve learned anything at all while watching this gorgeous show, it’s that a soul could happily look out at that valley forever.”

The New York Times visited Hudson Valley Shakespeare's new home at the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center, which we were proud to design signage for, and we couldn't agree more: it's "one of the most spectacular outdoor performance spaces in the country." Bravo to the Hudson Valley Shakespeare team!

After 38 years in a tent, Hudson Valley Shakespeare opens one of the most spectacular outdoor performance spaces in the country.

🪄Dream Team Gets It Done🦄 • We are thrilled to announce the completion of the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center in Garrison, New York! 🎭

The new theater establishes a permanent home for , one of New York’s most beloved regional professional theater companies. Featuring a curved, timber-framed grid shell, our design extends the theater’s year-round functionality, improves circulation across the campus, and enables a wider range of programming to create a new cultural destination for New York and the wider performing arts community.

The architecture also works together with the landscape, designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz, to frame iconic views of the Hudson Highlands and create a natural backdrop for HVS’s performances. Integrated sustainability strategies—including the use of mass timber, photovoltaic panels, rainwater harvesting and reuse, and restored native habitats—will help the building become the first purpose-built, open-air theater in the US to achieve LEED Platinum certification.

Thank you to our wonderful collaborators , , , ,

Flyleaf Creative is proud to unveil our environmental signage program, based on our newly redesigned visual identity, for the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center, the new home of Hudson Valley Shakespeare, one of New York’s most beloved regional professional theater companies.

The theater, designed by architects Studio Gang, establishes a permanent home in Garrison, NY, offering more versatility for its actors, audience, and back-of-house. The gently curved, timber-framed grid shell improves year-round functionality while evolving HVS’s tradition of immersive, open-air performances, connecting directly to the revitalized landscape and framing views of the highlands along the Hudson River. Architecture and nature work together to create a transformative new cultural destination for New York and the wider performing arts community.

The project’s green strategies target LEED v4 Platinum—the first such certification for a purpose-built US theater. Through its care for the environment, and the planet more broadly, the design aims to ensure the company’s productions and the diversity of the natural world remain center stage for many seasons to come.

Thrilled to be part of the team that included Studio Gang, Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, Thornton Tomasetti, Art Massif, Fisher Dachs Associates, Theatre Planning and Design, Threshold Acoustics LLC, Buro Happold, Tillotson Design Associates, Consigli Construction Co., Inc., About the Work, and more!
