Hudson Valley Shakespeare seeks a highly motivated, skilled, and experienced Director of Development to join the team and lead the organization’s fundraising efforts. They will work in close partnership with the Artistic Director, Managing Director, and an engaged and energized Board to expand development initiatives that support high artistic standards, foster strong connection to the community, and cultivate successful engagement of both loyal and burgeoning donors, funders, and audience members.
Hudson Valley Shakespeare (HVS) is in the midst of a transformational moment as an organization. After undergoing tremendous artistic and programmatic evolution in recent years, following the successful transition from a founding leader to the installation of Artistic Director Davis McCallum in 2014 and Managing Director Kendra Ekelund in 2022, HVS is in a place of great strength in terms of its mission, work, and leadership. At the same time, HVS (known as Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, until recently) has just broken ground on building a new permanent home in Garrison, NY, a LEED Platinum certified open-air theater, to be named the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center. The new theater will be located on 98-acres of land overlooking the Hudson River, conveyed to the organization by philanthropist and longtime conservationist, Christopher Davis, and providing the organization the opportunity to evolve from a seasonal festival to a cultural anchor for the Hudson Valley and an enduring destination for arts lovers nationally and globally.
