Mac-Haydn Theatre

Hudson Valley


A wide range of Broadway musicals are performed by professional actors at this summer-only theater-in-the-round, 14 miles northeast of Hudson. Productions tend to border on cheesy, but the cast is usually energized and the generally older crowd appreciative.

Stick around for the solo acts in the old-fashioned cafe/cabaret room, where you can enjoy show tunes while chowing down on a slice of pie.
