The Hippodrome’s New Works Festival celebrates Florida’s diverse playwriting talents. The hand-picked finalists will work with directors, actors and producers to develop and workshop their plays, ending with a staged reading production on the Hippodrome mainstage.

Get a backstage peek at up-and-coming playwrights and enjoy your front-row seat as brand new plays are born.

The Hippodrome Theatre is proud to present our 2022-23

Season, LIVE on the Mainstage. A fireman questions his role in a dystopian society, family competition turns election night into a comedy of errors, wrestlers dazzle in a theatrical smackdown, neighbors squabble over butterflies and a chain-linked fence, a woman reaches for the stars in a turn of the century men’s world, and the Murder For Two boys return by popular demand – this time with a holiday twist! These are just some of the characters you will meet in the 50th season at the Hippodrome Theatre, BEYOND LIMITS.

Experience professional theatre, created right here in Gainesville.

Subscriptions and Flex Passes are the easiest and most economical way to experience our 50th Season of compelling theatrical storytelling!
