Over the last few years, we have enjoyed several fantastic H.V.S.F - plays/musicals along with a pre-performance group picnic. This season will be the first in the magnificent new open-air theater, with fabulous views from both the picnic lawns and theater seats. Join us!

On Friday, Aug 14th please join us for:

Les Misérables by ALAIN BOUBLIL and CLAUDE-MICHEL SCHÖNBERG directed by JENN THOMPSON

As the audience and 3-sided main stage sits under the theater roof the performance will occur rain or shine, and only the actors might get wet - the show must go on!

*** Info about the musical***

“If you wish to gain an idea of what revolution is, call it Progress; and if you wish to acquire an idea of the nature of progress, call it Tomorrow.” – Victor Hugo
After 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread, Jean Valjean is given a second chance, but freedom comes at a price. Haunted by his past and relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert, Valjean’s quest for redemption unfolds against the rising storm of revolution in 19th-century France. Les Misérables is a soaring tale of love, justice, and the unbreakable human spirit — featuring iconic songs including “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” and “One Day More.”
