Thalian Hall is about to explode into the future with a $25 million renovation that’s turning its historic City Hall wing into a next-gen performance hub. For now, the immersive Hubblo Dome—loaned from Canada—is giving locals a sneak peek with 360-degree planetarium-style films through June. But that’s just the beginning: the site will become The Hippodrome, a fully immersive theater where walls, floors, and ceilings transform into screens. Demolition has already begun, revealing hidden spaces and old wiring, as crews prep to gut and rebuild. Plans include reviving an old elevator shaft, launching a music club, and a workshop studio—all to eventually host six shows simultaneously. Opening slated for 2028, the project’s already raised significant funds, but more is needed. With electrifying energy and community buzz, Thalian Hall is poised for its most dazzling chapter yet.
