New Jersey’s silent stages may be finally saved.

NJIVA looks to boost support for local live venues statewide
New Jersey Independent Venue Association (NJIVA) seeks to give live entertainment independent venues and promoters a stronger voice, as those venues continue to face the economic toll of the coronavirus pandemic.
The association was formed by Hopewell Theater and other independent theaters, as venues statewide continue advocating for financial relief from the state to prevent closures from the loss in revenue. Theaters have had to be creative during this period in New Jersey with indoor gatherings having been restricted and performances having to be cancelled or postponed to later dates.
