The Hippodrome Theatre’s 51st Season - Empower Welcome to the Hippodrome’s 51st Season.
From its inception in 1973, the Hippodrome Theatre has brought stories to the stage that explore and celebrate the human condition. 50 years ago six determined individuals, (Marilyn Wall, Bruce Cornwell, Greg Von Hausch, Kerry (McKinney) Oliver-Smith, Mary Hausch , Owen Wechsberg) took a leap into the unknown, creating a theater that challenged expectations.
And what a challenging time this is. While the pandemic is (mostly) in our rearview mirror, its financial impacts on the whole of regional theater are still reverberating. Theaters across the country reopened with audiences down 50% in 2021, and the Hippodrome was no exception. Nationwide, audience numbers are back to 70% attendance and again, the Hippodrome is right on target.
We are coming back. The issue is Regional theater needs a longer runway than the federal pandemic funding supplied, and again The Hippodrome, while beating the national trend, is facing similar issues. But we are strong and resilient! Even as we cut back the number of full productions in our season, we are building new creative programming into the main stage, basement, and cinema spaces. You will have even more opportunities this coming season to experience the power of theater and community storytelling.
So what better theme could we have this season than Empower. You, our community, empower us. This collaborative art form brings us all together to experience something special, something that connects us to each other, which is powerful and strong. Art springs from times of struggle and change as we try to navigate our world. And, just like the characters in our plays, the Hippodrome is weathering this challenge and tackling our future head on.
Thank you for being a part of our community and keeping Gainesville Hipp.
-Stephanie Lynge^ (Hippodrome’s Artistic Director)
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S NOTE
Welcome to the Tony Nominated play POTUS: Or Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive.
Really, the title says it all. This spot-on feminist spearing of political posturing, arrogant men, and the women who keep things running behind the scenes is the first truly feminist farce. By that I mean, the first farce where women are the main characters, driving the action. Women are never the joke here, they’re the ones making the joke and no subject is taboo. And I mean no subject.
So why this play? The women in this farce are messy, crude, and barely holding their world together, juggling kids, lovers, work, and of course the utter and total collapse of the political administration they work for. Their world is out of control, they are buffeted by failures at every turn. Real, raw, flawed human beings. Is the world different at the end of this play. No. Are all of their problems solved. No. But they are working together, and whatever come, they have stepped off the hamster wheel to face what happens next . And that is inspiring and hopeful.
So buckle up, get ready to laugh and squirm as we take this journey with this amazing and crazy group of women.
-Stephanie Lynge^ (Director)
