The Hippodrome also offers a growing roster of classes for adults, including Hipp-provisation, Scene Study, Storytelling, and multiple Play Observerships in conjunction with the Mainstage season.

The Hippodrome has also introduced such innovative programs as the New Play Reading Series, the Teen Playwright Festival, Theatre Arts Series and has hosted more than 200 visual arts exhibits, artistic residencies, master classes, festivals, and guest artist presentations.

Upcoming Youth Education Opportunities:

Summer Spectacular

Ages 8 – 18, June 3 – 21 & July 8 – July 26
Monday – Friday 8:45 a.m. – 5:15 p.m.
Summer Spectacular campers explore a variety of theatre classes, movement, art classes as well as acting for the screen. Designed to give young people a glimpse into the performing arts classes are taught by theatre artists with years of experience in theatre education. The camp culminates with a performance on the Hippodrome’s Mainstage where the students put all they have learned in their classes into action. This year Summer Spectacular presents “The Wizard of Oz.”

When the lights go up and Dorothy finds herself in the land of Oz—being hailed by the Munchkins for saving them from the Wicked Witch of the East—it is a pretty bewildering experience for a little girl from Kansas. But Dorothy bravely sets out to find a way back home and soon meets noble friends: the Scarecrow seeking brains, the Cowardly Lion who wants courage and the Tin Woodman who desires a heart above everything.

Youth Ensemble
Ages 5 – 8
June 24 – 28, July 29 – Aug. 2, Aug. 5 – 9
Monday – Friday, 8:45 a.m. – 5 p.m.
This summer our Youth Ensemble will dive into the world of fairy tales and bring a few to life on stage at the Hipp. Campers will playfully explore what it takes to plan, build and perform a play. They’ll enjoy arts and crafts while working on the behind-the-scenes elements of props, costumes, sets and lights. They’ll have fun exercising their imaginations and developing control of their bodies and voices to create characters for their play. At the end of the week we’ll all delight in what they create and share with us on stage (and backstage) at the Hipp!
Storytellers Camp
Ages 5 – 18, July 1 – 3
Monday – Friday, 8:45 a.m. – 5:15 p.m.
This 3-day camp focuses on the age old art of storytelling. Under the guidance of our theatre artists, campers will share stories, learn the craft and get comfortable speaking in front of an audience.

Upcoming Adult Education Opportunities:

Hippodrome Education favorite Matthew Lindsay has created yet another unique offering to help you develop your communication skills! This class, designed for beginners as well as improv veterans, will focus on long form improvisation and storytelling. Each session will focus on specific disciplines aimed to give the student tools to create improvised scenes, tell short stories, and create spoken word pieces. The series will culminate in a performance by the students on the Hippodrome’s main stage.
Classes take place in the Hippodrome Cinema.
