The popular HopStop Family Series—entertaining, hands-on, free programs introducing the youngest audiences to the wonders of the performing arts appears in Hanover and Claremont. The addition of Claremont to the series was part of the Hop’s Community Venture Initiative (CVI), and launched in 2014.
In addition to performing at the series’ original location in the Hop’s Alumni Hall in Hanover, NH, at 11 a.m., HopStop artists also head south to Claremont for a 3 pm performance at the Claremont Savings Bank Community Center, 152 South St., Claremont. Subsequent shows take place in the fall, winter, and spring. The Claremont shows are being produced by the Hop through a partnership with the Claremont Recreation and Parks Department and West Claremont Center for Music and the Arts.
HopStops invite audience members to sit up close to the performers on the carpeted floor (with chairs provided for those who prefer them), participate in the performance, and get to know the performers and see their instruments, props and costumes up close in informal post-show meet-and-greets. Shows last one hour, are geared for children ages 3 and up with an accompanying adult, and are free and open to the public; no ticket or registration is required. The doors open at 2:30 pm.
The Claremont performances are at 3 pm, at the CSB Community Center
