Small, intimate place to view a performance (Tom Rush); comfortable cushioned seating, plenty of legroom; acoustics were very good. Overall, a very nice experience. One note, when ordering tix, the seating options were not clear. Now that I've seen the layout, I understand. Maybe more photos with explanations. read less

All production values are top notch, geared to audience experience--from seating options and "theater environmentals" to food choices and, of course, to the mind-and spirit-expanding schedule of creative work being made available to us. read less

Easy to park in the small business district and a few nice eateries within a block. I commuted from Bucks County PA; it was delightful not having to fight traffic on major highways to Philly or NYC. The space itself if intimate, comfortable and there's pretty much not a bad seat in the house. Plus, it's new and clean! I was there for an acoustic singer/songwriter set. The sound was incredible and pure. No table service, just a refreshment stand in the lobby. read less

As soon as we saw Tom Rush was performing, we snagged the tickets and blocked off the date. What a marvelous little facility only an hour from our home.

Tom Rush was magnificent, as he was in the late 60s when we first saw him. But the true surprise and delight was the theatre. The acoustics were fantastic, and there is not a bad seat in the house. We opted for not having dinner there but it looked as though the folks who did thoroughly enjoyed it. The prices for drinks and snacks were reasonable.

We are on the mailing list now and will get out there to the Hopewell Theatre again and again. More read less

Each time, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! It's BYO adult beverages, but all other drinks are not allowed, because that is sold by the establishment. There is a snack bar; the popcorn is fresh. It is very nice and clean inside. I like the tables for a show, and the comfy couch for a movie. All of the workers are nice. It is a treat to be there, check it out!

Make an afternoon/evening of it--take a walk through the Sourland Preserve, drive through the local countryside and visit historic sites like the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum and Cemetery, and have a pre-show dinner at one of several restaurants in town. read less

Our first time at the venue and we were blown away. Unexpectedly had seats - there are a few in the back of the room, elevated to the level of the stage.
