Opening Doors to the Performing Arts!

HopStops are entertaining, hands-on free programs introducing the youngest audiences to the wonders of the performing arts. These hour-long interactive presentations are an engaging way to stimulate the curious minds of children. HopStops are offered one Saturday each month at 11 am throughout the school year, often in conjunction with Visiting Artist performances.

  • HopStops are free and open to the public; no tickets or registration required. Most HopStops are held in Alumni Hall, located on the second floor of the Hopkins Center (signs are posted). Weather permitting, the September and May HopStops are held outside on the Hop Plaza. Doors open at 10:30. Seating is limited. For more information, call 603.646.2010.
  • Parking is available in the Hanover Parking Garage located on Lebanon Street. Parking is free if you leave before three hours time. Call 603.643.0716 for more info. Metered parking on the street is also available.
  • Thanks to generous gifts from Hop Members, the Children’s Fund of the Upper Valley of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and donors like you, HopStops remain FREE and open to public. Donations graciously accepted at all HopStop events.
  • For information on accessibility services, call the Hop Box Office at 603.646.2422.
