A night at the theater... Nestled in downtown Gainesville, amidst all the hustle and bustle of college life, there sits a beautiful white building with large columns. Inside, a quant and romantic play house sits. What is this that I speak of? Why, it is the Hippodrome Theatre, of course! We were honored to behold a wonderful performance by the talented actors at the Hippodrome Theater as they performed the holiday classic - A Christmas Carol. Perfect family entertainment, the show’s cast of characters captured the audience’s hearts and true meaning of Christmas as they walked through the classic tale without missing a beat. The 2010-2011 season at the Hippodrome, which was founded in 1972, will have six different shows, ranging in performances from Dracula to This Wonderful Life. Also home to the Hippodrome Cinema (which hosts 700 viewings a year) to its art gallery, the Hippodrome is a true community gem. So weather you are up for a night of theater or catching a movie in the cinema, the Hippodrome Theater is a must! Complete with hot popcorn and refreshments of your choice, you are to be sure to have a great time! We did!
