WHY #SOS? Across the U.S., indie venues are closing permanently, in dire financial straits after being forced to close for public safety during the Covid-19 pandemic. NIVA, National Independent Venue Association, has established the Save Our Stages, #SOS fund to directly support our most vulnerable venues experiencing catastrophic revenue loss. Hopewell Theater is a member of NIVA and proudly supports its relief effort.
Hopewell Theater (5 S. Greenwood Ave., Hopewell, New Jersey) is equal parts indie arts venue and meeting place – a place where patrons can meet friends, and get inspired by an eclectic mix of entertainment by emerging and established talent in a setting that is welcoming, casual, intimate, and fun. At our 180 seat theater we feature independent films, live music, comedy and performances. With flexible seating options, from intimate banquette table seating to traditional fixed theater seats, as well as a balcony overlooking the stage, HT is a place where everyone can feel comfortable.
