Hershey Theatre Now Open Following 13-Month Renovation Project
Historic Venue to Host More Than 35 Shows and Concerts Through Fall 2026
Following an extensive year-long renovation, the historic Hershey Theatre is now open to the public, offering a year full of exciting programming.
The building, which closed in late January 2025, has undergone a series of major improvements, including new air conditioning, new seating and carpeting, a new orchestra pit, improved Wi-Fi connectivity, new LED lighting and more. The building’s electrical systems and stage have also been modernized, along with the creation of a two-story loading dock to streamline show load-ins.
Upcoming Hershey Theatre Programming
To celebrate a new era of the nearly 100-year-old venue, more than 35 shows have been announced through October 2026, including three Broadway touring productions, renowned comedians and all-star musicians. Notable performers include John Legend, Tori Amos, The Indigo Girls, Chicago, Daniel Tosh and more.
