Actors’ Equity is a member of the AFL-CIO and is affiliated with FIA, an international organization of performing arts unions. #EquityWorks Hippodrome programs are sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts & Culture; Visit Gainesville Alachua County, and by the City of Gainesville, Dept. of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs.

When you need a vacation from your life, there’s nothing like finding sisterhood and solidarity with a brand new friend. That’s exactly what happens when two women scorned form a bond in the Wishy Washy Washeteria. It’s here that Lana Mae Hopkins and Katie Lane Murphy find common ground amidst dirty socks and laundry suds in this foot-stomping celebration of country music, learning that it’s never too late to follow your dreams. It’s been such a pleasure coming home to the Hippodrome to work with this brilliant staff of artists and these two amazingly talented women to bring Honky Tonk Laundry to life here in Gainesville. With songs from some of country music’s favorite female artists, we hope you have as much fun watching as we had putting together this heartwarming, down-home musical. Y’all enjoy the show! Tara Kromer (Director)
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.
