Exciting new shows added to our 52nd season "Ignite"
We present to you our fabulous new shows for our 52nd Season Ignite: kick off the holiday season with Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big Gainesville Christmas Show; be part of the excitement this January with The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) (Revised) (Again); and mark your calendars for spring for Morning After Grace.
OVERRIDE THE VETO:
Floridians love the ARTS!
Governor DeSantis’s funding veto is a huge blow to the arts, cutting jobs and impacting our entire community. The arts drive our local economy and enrich our culture. At the Hippodrome Theatre, we need your help to override this veto and make sure it never happens again.
Every dollar you donate, every event you attend, has continued to make a difference.
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.
Below you can find ways to help us reach our 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.
