After a year and a half pandemic shutdown, Hopewell Theater is reopening its doors on Friday, September 10 at 8 p.m. – the date of the Theater’s four-year anniversary – with a grand reopening show featuring international recording artist Danielia Cotton.

The event begins with a pre-show party at 6:30 p.m., followed by the 8 p.m. live music performance by Cotton.

“Happy to be a part of the official reopening of my hometown theater post COVID lockdown,” said Cotton, a rock singer-songwriter born and raised in Hopewell. “It is my honor to once again perform in this small but mighty theater that has become a true gem in the town I grew up in.”

During the pre-show celebration, patrons are invited to enjoy light gourmet refreshments, and sip to toast the grand reopening. There will also be activities such as a photo booth and prize giveaways. Patrons can enter to win giveaways such as Danielia Cotton merchandise and a Dual Membership to the theater. Additionally, all attending patrons will receive a free gift, courtesy of the artist and HT.

The theater has taken the necessary precautions for the safety of its patrons, staff, and artists, including HVAC upgrades and clean-up (likely by professionals similar to these minneapolis air duct cleaning providers), thorough cleaning, and sanitation before and after shows, and requiring all patrons, talent, and staff to wear a mask when in the building.

Following the reopening celebration, the theater will reopen at full capacity with an eclectic lineup of fall programs.

Tickets for the reopening celebration are for sale for $30-35 ($36 on day of show) and can be purchased at https://tickets.hopewelltheater.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=518.
