Hershey Theatre To Close for Renovations, Beginning January 20, 2025

A Letter To Our Patrons & Our Community

Since Hershey Theatre opened its doors in 1933, it has been a pillar of cultural enrichment in Hershey. Its beauty has enhanced our community; its stage has brought countless unforgettable performances. It is a steadfast reminder of Mr. Hershey and his desire to bring the arts to his community.

We are excited to share that Hershey Theatre will soon be embarking on an important one-year renovation project to update the facility, while preserving its history. During these renovations, beginning January 20, 2025, the Theatre will be closed to the public. Significant infrastructure improvements will include new air-conditioning and electrical systems, enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity and re-configured parking areas.

We are excited to re-open an even better Hershey Theatre in early 2026 with a robust Broadway season, as well as a variety of other world-class performers.

We appreciate your understanding as we work to honor Mr. Hershey’s legacy by revitalizing this iconic building for future generations to enjoy. We are grateful for your continued patronage and we look forward to celebrating the next chapter of our history with you.

Sincerely,
Donald C. Papson
Executive Director, The M.S. Hershey Foundation
