About PS21
PS21: Performance Spaces for the 21st Century is a contemporary arts venue in the Hudson Valley presenting innovative programming by leading and emerging artists in music, dance, theater, contemporary performance, and the visual and multimedia arts.
Since our state-of-the-art theater was inaugurated in 2018, PS21 has evolved into the Hudson Valley’s mecca for innovative programming by leading and emerging artists in music, dance, theater, contemporary performance, and the visual and multimedia arts. Jesse Green, writing in The New York Times called our open-air Pavilion Theater a “beautiful, reconfigurable indoor-outdoor space that appears to have landed like an exotic bird in the midst of a 100-acre former apple orchard.”
In addition to earning a reputation as “a Hudson Valley outpost of the avant-garde” (The New York Times, June 2022) for its exceptional seasons of interdisciplinary dance, theater, and music, PS21 has created PS21 PATHWAYS: Blazing Trails to a Sustainable Future, an ambitious, multi-faceted series of spectacle, performances, art installations, educational workshops, international contemporary circus, and participatory events designed for young and old, individuals and families, all offered for free or at very low cost. Community engagement, education, and free performances will continue to form the heart of PS21 PATHWAYS 2023 season.
PS21 fosters creativity through artists’ residencies and encouraging collaborations between performers working across disciplines and genres. PS21’s mission is to provide support for innovative performing artists and creators and to introduce their work to broader audiences, while also providing the surrounding region with opportunities for arts engagement regardless of economic status, cultural background, or age. In its new, green facility, PS21 offers resident makers and performers involved in the creation of new work the tools and flexibility for successful innovation and collaboration in the development of sophisticated multi-media work.
PS21 has emerged from the pandemic poised for growth, with strong finances, enhanced artistic vitality, a dedicated board, and many new donors. Read more about our programmatic agenda on our news page and see photos of recent productions on Instagram.
Selected press
” ‘You Are the Show’: A Hudson Valley Outpost of the Avant-Garde, PS21 presents work that challenges and invites…”, “The summer programming — which also features contemporary chamber opera, postapocalyptic scarecrows, a parade of human-size moles and a participatory installation made of string — is indicative of how PS21 has become a rural outpost of high-end and often avant-garde performance.” — Brian Seibert, The New York Times, June 2, 2022
“A beautiful, reconfigurable indoor-outdoor space that appears to have landed like an exotic bird in the midst of a 100-acre former apple orchard in this tiny Hudson Valley town. It’s not the first place you would expect to encounter cutting-edge performance, yet PS21 offers little else.” — Jesse Green, The New York Times, June 22, 2021
“It’s not easy being green. Full marks to Philippe Quesne’s sprightly eco-clown show ‘Farm Fatale,’ created at the Münchner Kammerspiele and now at PS21 in Chatham, N.Y. — a country theater that outclasses most of Manhattan.” — Jason Farago, critic at large for The New York Times, September 3, 2022
