Hudson Opera House

Good news from the Hudson Opera House!

Dear Friend:

Last year more than 500 activities and events—all of them low cost or free—took
place in and around this grand old building, and more than 29,000 people attended.

There were many memorable moments, including:
• The Snow Dragon, an enchanting holiday performance by Tall Stories Theatre
from England, which delighted young and old alike on the Saturday after
Thanksgiving.

• The riveting tale of a coveted antique gold coin, liberally spiced with intrigue,
deception, and controversy—brought to us by David Tripp, author of the NY Times
best-selling book Illegal Tender: Gold, Greed, and the Mystery of the Lost 1933
Double Eagle.

• Life, love, and the quest for freedom expressed in a concert of original folk songs
and traditional African-American music by Kim and Reggie Harris, who also
performed a special educational concert about the Underground Railroad at a
local middle school.

• Fifteen thousand visitors surging through downtown Hudson during the preholiday
Winter Walk on Warren Street—along with the musicians, dancers, jesters,
clowns, stilt walkers, reindeer, Victorian carolers, giant street puppets, and horsedrawn carriages that make the evening magical.

This year, we’ve got to keep all the programs rolling, keep them low-cost or free, and
at the same time replace the Opera House roof.

In the next few years, we’ll restore the upstairs auditorium and continue to expand our diverse cultural and educational offerings.

Because so much of what we offer is free, the only way we can make all this happen is with donations and memberships—from friends like you.

Please join us as a new member!

Hope to see you soon at a Hudson Opera House event,

Most sincerely,

Gary Schiro
Executive Director
