The last completed of Hoboken's new riverfront parks, located behind Hudson Street, between 13th St. and 14th St and bordered by Constitution Way, this small waterfront park has become a favorite among locals its quiet and picturesque locale.  Also a favorite spot for summer concerts and other outdoor events.  HSC first performed at the park with The Merry Wives of Windsor in 2001 utilizing its unique Black Pelican fountain in the center as a backdrop.  Since then the park added a new stage for the increased demand of summer events.   Our performance areas usually utilize this entire area, often surrounding the audience seating area.  To view pictures of some shows performed at Shipyard - Coriolanus, Cymbeline.
