Hudson Hall

With the mission of inspiring and promoting the arts, Hudson Hall in Hudson, New York is a landmark establishment. The building in which it stands houses New York State’s oldest surviving theater, a theater that has seen Frederic Church, Bret Harte, Susan B. Anthony, and Teddy Roosevelt.

In 1992, the community came together to save this landmark after years of abandonment, and then in 2017, it was restored to its former glory and began serving Hudson and beyond as a renowned theater.

Beyond its use as a theater, Hudson Hall has a variety of programs to serve the diverse community and respond to its economic and cultural needs. In 2019, Hudson Hall served an audience of 50,000 and employed over 400 artists, technicians, and youth from the community for its free community events, city-wide festivals, art exhibits, and live performances.

Hudson Hall is more than just a theater, each year it establishes itself more and more as a cultural center and civic partner to Hudson.
