The Hippodrome Theatre recognizes and acknowledges that it resides on the historic territories of the Timucua and Seminole peoples who long inhabited this land.

Actors’ Equity Association Actors’ Equity Association (“Equity”), founded in 1913, is the U.S. labor union that represents more than 50,000 actors and stage managers. Equity seeks to foster the art of live theatre as an essential component of society and advances the careers of its members by negotiating wages, working conditions and providing a wide range of benefits, including health and pension plans.

Actors’ Equity is a member of the AFL-CIO and is affiliated with FIA, an international organization of performing arts unions. #EquityWorks

Operatic Comedy - what could be better?

Welcome to Living On Love, a romantic comedy of operatic proportions. This play has been on the short list for several years and the Hipp is excited to finally be celebrating the fireworks that opera and love create in our lives.

Our leading lady Raquel, known as La Diva, tells us that “I think opera is better than life. There is nothing mundane or routine or ordinary in opera. It never dwells in the trivia of our daily existence. It revels in the greatest of love and sorrow with heart-stopping beauty.” And that is what we have created.

We have mixed together a gorgeous set to create a stage worthy of an operatic struggle; lavish and opulent costumes that any diva would die for; a brilliant cast bringing these roles to life; and don’t forget the dog.

There is always an adorable small dog.

The Hippodrome believes in the joy that theater can bring. In our first readthrough of this play, the cast and crew started giggling so hard we had to stop and catch our breaths. We hope you experience the same happiness and laughter that this wonderful play has brought to us.

- Stephanie Lynge

The Hippodrome Theatre is a first-class regional theatre and artistic space committed to excellence in North Florida and creates programming that reflects and elevates the diverse cultures and perspectives of our region as well as create and maintain ongoing engagement with our community.

But what is a regional theater?

Regional theater is a permanent nonprofit professional theatre company that has established roots outside the major theatre centers. Besides bringing first-rate theatre to our region, we often have programs to nurture local talent and to encourage new plays of special regional interest.

But what makes professional theater different from community theater or educational theatre?

In a professional theatre everyone associated with a production, from directors, technicians, designers, and actors, are paid for their time and talent. And while community and educational theater provide opportunities for the community to take an active role in all phases of theater, our professional regional theater hires professionals who are highly trained and, at least during the production, the production is their full time job. This allows the theater to produce high quality productions very quickly - in less than three weeks!

As the artistic center of downtown Gainesville, The Hippodrome, your regional professional theater, will continue to search for new forms and new theatrical voices, support local community talent, bring in the highest quality professionals, and continue to encourage creativity and diversity in all of its performance spaces.

Joe DiPietro won two Tony Awards for cowriting MEMPHIS, which also received the 2010 Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical. His other plays and musicals include I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE (the longest running musical revue in off-Broadway history); THE TOXIC AVENGER and THE THING ABOUT MEN (both winners of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best OffBroadway musical,); the muchproduced comedy OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS; THE ART OF MURDER (Edgar Award winner for Best Mystery Play) and the Broadway musical ALL SHOOK UP.

Garson Kanin was born on November 24, 1912, in Rochester, New York. He dropped out of high school after the 1929 Wall Street crash to help the family finances, at first as a jazz clarinetist and saxophonist,

then as a vaudeville and burlesque comedian. After studies at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, he turned to the legitimate stage, making his Broadway debut as an actor in 1933. He directed his first play in 1937 and the following year went to Hollywood, where he piloted a succession of entertaining films, such as “The Great Man Votes” (1939), “My Favorite Wife,” and “They Knew What They Wanting” (both 1940). His career was interrupted by WWII, during which he produced and directed documentaries for the Office of Emergency Management and collaborated with Sir Carol Reed on the Oscar-winning THE TRUE GLORY (1945), a film record of Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy (D-Day). After the war he returned to Broadway as a playwright and director and scored a big hit with the comedy BORN YESTERDAY (1946), which was later adapted to the screen. In between theatrical engagements he worked in Hollywood, writing several hilarious screenplays for George Cukor, usually in collaboration with his wife, Ruth Gordon. He returned briefly to film directing in the late ‘60s. His many books include “Tracy and Hepburn” (1971), an intimate memoir of his relationship with the famed screen stars. Five years after the death of his first wife, he married again to stage (and occasional movie) actress Marian Seldes. Other plays include THE RAT RACE and THE GIFT OF TIME. He also published numerous articles in newspapers and periodicals, as well as nonfiction and fiction. He died on March 13, 1999, in New York City
