Talkbacks
Following the second Sunday matinee performance of Mainstage shows, playgoers can enjoy a post-show talkback with the Hippodrome’s artistic team. These talkbacks give audience members a chance to ask actors, designers, directors and playwrights about the creative process and the unique opportunities and challenges presented by each Mainstage production. Season subscriptions that coincide with the Mainstage talkbacks are available.
Panel Discussions
To further explore the themes and issues raised in both our live productions and film, the Hippodrome offers post-show panel discussions to give audience members the opportunity to talk with experts on a variety of topics. Check the Hipp’s event calendar for these offerings.
Workshops & Events
