Dear friends, Summer 2020 has not unfolded as we had planned. In this time of trauma, when the Coronavirus crisis is still upon us, when injustice and inequality are so clear, NGP has decided to postpone our summer Shakespeare programs. After nearly two decades of presenting youth theatre at our Little Globe Outdoor Stage, this will be its first dark season. It is a sad and difficult time for us and so many in our Shakespeare family. During this time of reflection, we pla...n on creating the groundwork for change as we build a stronger and brighter future. Keeping theater alive and present will remain our goal. Therefore, we plan on offering virtual classes online. We will have more information on this in the coming weeks. But this does not mean we will go silent. NGP brings the words and stories of Shakespeare to young people in the Hudson Valley to help them better understand themselves, each other, and our shared humanity. We join with so many others in a commitment to the work of anti-racism -- in ourselves, in our organization, and in our community. We must initiate necessary changes towards a more equitable and inclusive society. This work is urgent. It belongs to all of us, and we look forward to engaging in it with you, together. Lending our voice to the important work being done by local groups committed to a wide range of efforts bringing justice and equality to our communities. To that end, we have shared below a list of organizations taking action to support racial justice in our community and throughout the Hudson Valley. -Ron, Lesley, and the NGP board members @ West Shokan, New York
