Mystery, Murder, and Mayhem awaits at the Hippodrome Cinema!
While THE 39 STEPS thrills audiences on our mainstage, dive deeper into the world of Alfred Hitchcock with our specially curated film series. Experience the Master of Suspense’s greatest works on the big screen – from the psychological terror of Vertigo to the cross-country chase of North by Northwest.
Every Saturday and Sunday through September, catch classic Hitchcock films in our intimate cinema setting. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering these masterpieces for the first time, there’s no better way to explore the genius behind the suspense.
Film screenings complement our stage production perfectly – see how Hitchcock’s cinematic techniques translate to live theater, then experience the originals that inspired generations of artists.
Check our website for showtimes and create your own double feature of stage and screen suspense!

Our Elevator is
BACK IN ACTION!
Florida’s oldest elevator has officially returned from its spa day and is feeling fabulous! After months of TLC, our vintage lift is ready to whisk you up to new heights (literally).
A massive thank you to Wild Spaces & Public Places for making this incredible project possible. Without their support, we’d all still be getting our cardio on the stairs!
Speaking of stairs – you can now skip them entirely when you come see our upcoming production of The 39 Steps! Your legs will thank you, and so will we.
Come ride a piece of Florida history!
