Hanover Arts and Entertainment
Hanover and the Upper Valley are a mecca for the performing and visual arts. In addition to a multitude of offerings at Dartmouth College and its renowned Hopkins Center for the Arts, the area offers a wealth of entertainment options, including shows at the Lebanon Opera House and performances by Opera North and the Northern Stage theatrical company, which has staged more than 50 productions since taking up residency in White River Junction in 1997.
Check the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce website (www.hanoverchamber.org) or local newspaper listings, and chances are you’ll find a contra dance at a local church, a noted speaker or author or an open mike night at a local establishment. Have a drink and listen to soft acoustic music at a local club or take a 10-minute drive to a nightclub in West Lebanon.
The area is rich with galleries, museums, and local visual and performing artists, including Dartmouth College’s Hood Museum, The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. Nearby Lebanon features the AVA (Alliance for the Visual Arts) Gallery, which shows the works of more than 150 area artists. If Hanover’s Nugget Theater or the Loew Auditorium at the Hopkins Center for Performing Arts aren’t showing a movie to your taste, a short drive will bring you to other options.
If sports are your thing, catch high level action on the Dartmouth campus where schools like Boston College, Notre Dame and Stanford occasionally dot the schedule.
