Join the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival for a conversation with Hadrien Coumans, Co-founder & Co-Director of the Lenape Center, and Paul Gallay, President of Riverkeeper.

The theme HVSF’s 2020 Community Bake-Off playwriting series is “Mahicantuck, The River that Flows Both Ways.” The name highlights the fact that the Hudson River is more than a river, it is a tidal estuary, an arm of the sea where the salty seawater meets fresh water running off the land. The river is the defining natural feature of our region, and has long been a powerful inspiration to the people who live here.

Sean McNall will talk with Hadrien Coumans, The Lenape Center, and Paul Gallay, Riverkeeper, on their organizations’ passion for the river and how artists have drawn creative and spiritual inspiration from this geological phenomenon.
