October Events at The Hipp!

The air is chilling, the leaves (the few we have) are changing... fall is here and Halloween is just around the corner. This Halloween season, The Hipp is bringing a classic ghost story to Gainesville in a way only The Hipp can.

The Woman in Black is onstage at The Hipp from October 15. Hailed as "one of the best horror stories you will ever see on the stage" (Hello Magazine), The Woman in Black is the second-longest running play in London, where it has been universally acclaimed by critics. Over the 20 years it has been on stage, it has been translated into a dozen languages and staged in more than 40 countries. In conjunction with the fantastic production directed by Lauren Caldwell and staring Tim Altmeyer and UF Professor Emeritus David Shelton, The Hipp has the following amazing events lined up. All events are free and open to the public with the purchase of a ticket to that night's performance of The Woman in Black. Tickets for all dates other than opening are now available online at thehipp.org or through The Hipp Box Office at 352-375-HIPP.
