HLT Announces its 78th Season (2026-27)

Posted on July 2, 2026July 2, 2026 by Doug Cooper

The Hanover Little Theatre’s 78th Season has been announced and is filled with laughs, heart, and music.

NEW TICKET PRICE

After much debate, the HLT board of directors decided to raise the price of tickets modestly to $22 for a single ticket and $20 for seniors and students. Our season ticket pricing also increased, though you’ll still save over buying single tickets.

MATINEES

Beginning with the November show (Things My Mother Taught Me) and the remainder of the season, we will be switching up our show times.

  • Thursday and Friday performances: 7:30 p.m.
  • Saturday and Sunday performances: 2 p.m.

SEASON TICKETS, MEMBERSHIPS

Those who are current Season Ticket or Membership package holders can purchase 2026-27 season tickets or memberships beginning July 1 — before they are available to the general public.

In addition to purchasing Season Tickets and Membership Packages online, our current member and season ticket holders can take advantage of special In-Person Box Office hours:

  • Saturday, July 11, 10 a.m.-noon
  • Sunday, July 12, noon-2 p.m.
