Founded in 1987, Shakespeare in the Valley was the vision of Nancy Fales Garrett, Lanny Harrison, Bob Briggs, and Martha Van Burek. Now celebrating its 39th season, the program has introduced generations of youth to Shakespeare through an immersive summer experience that combines performance, collaboration, and creativity. Over nearly four decades, hundreds of young people have taken to the stage, with many returning years later as instructors, artists, volunteers, and audience members.

Every summer, professional directors, actors, musicians, designers, and technicians work alongside local youth to create a fully staged Shakespeare production. Students take part in every aspect of the production—from acting and music to costumes, set building, and technical theater—learning not only theatrical skills but also the value of teamwork, responsibility, and creative problem-solving.

What has always set Shakespeare in the Valley apart is its willingness to reinvent these plays. No two productions are ever the same. Shakespeare’s stories are reimagined through original music, contemporary themes, and bold visual ideas, making the work feel immediate and alive. The West Kortright Center’s campus is as much a part of the production as the actors themselves. Over the years, performances have unfolded beneath the trees, in the parking lot, and this year across the front façade of our historic building, transforming familiar spaces into unexpected stages. Under the direction of Lilian Meredith, with original music by Stephen Bennett and visual design by artists Zena Gurbo and Helen Quinn, the productions have developed a distinctive style that is uniquely WKC/Shakespeare In the Valley—ambitious, inventive, and deeply rooted in place.

Today, Shakespeare in the Valley remains one of the West Kortright Center’s defining programs and a cherished summer tradition. It continues to bring together young artists, families, volunteers, and audiences from across the region, demonstrating the power of theater to build confidence, strengthen community, and inspire the next generation of creative voices.

At The Gatehouse Coffee Shop, we're excited to see the return of one of our favorite local traditions—On the Trail of Art.

On June 13 & 14, the @butternutvalleyalliance will present the sixth annual On the Trail of Art at General Jacob Morris State Forest. This unique weekend celebration brings together art, nature, and community, with a forest trail showcasing work by talented student artists from local schools alongside artists from across the Butternut Valley.

This year’s festival is bigger than ever, featuring strolling musicians, poetry, live bands throughout the weekend, art demonstrations, special tributes marking America’s 250th anniversary, and the ever-popular crystal ball treasure hunt.

The festivities begin with an Opening Reception on Friday, June 12, from 6–8 PM at Dunderberg Gallery in Gilbertsville.

These photos from last year capture some of the creativity, beauty, and magic that make On the Trail of Art such a special experience! Follow @butternutvalleyalliance for more info and don't miss it this magical event!

THIS IS THE FIRST “OFFICIAL” THING I AM DROPPING AS JUSADJUST AND THE BEST WAY YOU CAN SUPPORT MY ARTISTIC ENDEAVORS RIGHT NOW.

the CD will go out with shirts. along with digital the moment it’s available.

the art is a collaboration with @zenagurbo. she’s dope!

“lightleaks” is a selection of forthcoming songs/drafts from various projects that I will be dropping over time - solo material, jackin4beats style mixtape joints, and sneaks at stuff with various collaborators. some of this music will only exist here, in this form, in true mixtape style. i’m not even sure what yet. clue: exclusive.

all the music is stuff I will be performing at @foothills.pac on Thursday 4/9. I am opening for my friend @jalen.thompson who is celebrating the release of their album “Gay Drake” (which is the best album title I’ve ever heard). @king.konye will also be performing. And I’ll have some special guests.
