For generations, the HB community has been a source of inspiration and connection for the many thousands of talented souls that have come through our doors in the heart of Greenwich Village. Over the past 10 years, HB Studio has hosted an annual benefit to celebrate our theater community and honor esteemed alumni, colleagues and dear friends. This year HB Studio is bringing it all back home, and bringing it back to the process of making theater.
Instead of one big benefit bash this year, throughout the 2016-2017 season, HB will be hosting small benefit performance events in our theater at 124 Bank Street. First up this season is:
SHAKESPEARE ON BANK STREET

HB Playwrights Theater

The evening will explore Shakespeare’s connection to HB ‘s founders, Uta Hagen and Herbert Berghof, while paying tribute to the genius of the Bard and his 400-year legacy.
