I can't say enough good things about the HVSF! One of the best gifts my husband gave me for Christmas was a donation to them on my behalf. We go twice per summer and have done so for 10 years. It speaks to how great the company is that the same actors come back year after year, such that I feel like I know them. My kids - age 13, 11 and 6 LOVE it and part of their looking forward to summer is organizing our tickets for HVSF. It would not cross their minds that Shakespeare might be seen as elitist or overtly intellectual because they have been introduced to it by such a fabulous company, in a casual setting and mostly because all the comedies are hilariously daft and have them laughing 'til they fall off their seats! All power to you HVSF!
