Keep Gainesville Hipp

For over 50 years The Hippodrome Theatre has been the heart of the cultural fabric of downtown Gainesville – bringing diverse stories and experiences through its professional productions, enriching educational programs, art house cinema, thought-provoking gallery exhibits and unique basement shows.

Your continued support ensures that we can keep the arts alive in Gainesville even during the most challenging time. 

Every dollar you donate, every event you attend, has continued to make a difference.

Thank you for joining us in protecting the arts and supporting Gainesville’s cultural future

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our community members and especially the City of Gainesville and  Alachua County for your generous donations which have played a crucial role in keeping our doors open and have brought us almost halfway to our fundraising goal.

Historic buildings come with historic challenges.

The Hippodrome’s historic elevator will not be available until further notice. While we work with city officials to find a permanent solution, we will be offering adapted versions of most shows in our Alternate Access Theatre (2nd stage/cinema space). All adapted productions remain to the professional standard and quality of all Hippodrome productions. 

If this impacts your ability to see the show, please contact the box office to arrange the best accommodations. Contact us at boxoffice@thehipp.org or 352-375-4477. Box Office is open Wed-Sun from 12 to 5 or the latest show time.

Education Programs

The Hippodrome's Education Department offers programming that supports arts education for all levels of experience.

Rentals

The Hippodrome is on the National Registry of Historic Places and offers affordable rates for events of all sizes.

Our Cinema

As the only independent cinema in Gainesville, our cinema screens a diverse array of commercial and independent movies, special screenings and film festivals.
