(HOPEWELL, NJ) -- Hopewell Theater is taking steps to reopen on 7 West Broad Street in Hopewell. The theater closed in 2024 due to rising costs and the inability to obtain a liquor license – a key income source for live venues. Hopewell Theater now has an opportunity to apply for a liquor license given the State of New Jersey's 2025 passing of a law allowing theaters to obtain a liquor license, and Hopewell Borough's subsequent passing of an ordinance allowing Borough theaters to apply for this new theater license.
