Igniting the night with stories – that is the Hippodrome’s 52nd Season. 

We are proud to bring to our community a season full of passion, joy, curiosity, challenge, and change. We will challenge the status quo in the perfectly balanced sitcom-esq Perfect Arrangement, and take a deep and passionate dive into the document that founded our nation in What The Constitution Means To Me.  We will look for joy through the little things in our lives in Every Brilliant Thing, and two-step the night away with those fabulous gals from the Honky Tonk Angels Holiday Spectacular No holiday would be complete without our traditional journey with Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, and we will explore art, mayhem, and tricky family dynamics in the  brand-new comedy out of Miami, Laughs in Spanish.  In the spring, straight from New York and in one of the most produced shows in regional theater this year, we will find our passion with the characters in Clyde’s as they search for the perfect sandwich in this raucous and startling comedy. And as always, we will reveal our Summer Musical later in the season, one that will be sure to take you on a joyous ride.

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.
