“Some Enchanted Evening,
The Songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein”
presented by
the Hippodrome Theatre

Running from January 30 until February 15

Kick off the 2026 with romance, passion and the music we grew up loving. The Sound of Music, Oklahoma, The King and I Carousel, Flower Drum Song and more. A glorious parade of genuine hits from the golden age of Broadway that will lift your spirits, brighten your soul and leave a melody in your heart.

“Accomplice”
by Rupert Holmes
presented by
the Hippodrome Theatre

Running from March 6 until March 22

A witty cocktail of a thriller from the author of The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Curtains, and the iconic Piña Colada song! A true whodunnit where nothing is what it seems. Sexy, suspenseful, delicious, breathless; where skullduggery emerges the winner.

Thank you!

As the curtain closes on another magical season of A Christmas Carol, we're filled with gratitude for our talented cast, hardworking production crew, patient parents, and most importantly, the Gainesville community that has embraced this tradition for 47 years. You make it possible for us to keep this beloved holiday classic alive and thriving. Thank you for being part of our Hippodrome family—see you next December!

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!
