From the Hopkins Center's Executive Director

The Hop is a hub for artistic innovation where Dartmouth faculty and resident artists gather to experiment and create original productions like César Alvarez's NOISE that asks questions about the power of the arts to make a better world, and even challenges our ideas of what makes a musical. This first collaboration with Northern Stage gives us the opportunity to connect more deeply with our Upper Valley community and build new ways to sustain those connections. Northern Stage has been a steadfast partner in bringing this bold, dynamic production to life and to sharing it with our community. We hope this exciting partnership will be the first 
of many.
