Since its founding in 1976, Hip Pocket remains one of the city’s oldest and most distinctive live theatre institutions—dedicated to producing experimental works that span genres such as mime, mask, puppetry, original scripts and musicals, and devised theatre.

Hip Pocket Theatre acknowledges first that the land on which our theatre resides once belonged to native American tribes - Tonkawa, Hassinai Caddo, Wichita, Comanche-affiliated Kiowas - and we thank the First Nations for their teachings about and stewardship of the land. Hip Pocket Theatre is and always has been committed to giving a voice to artists of all races, ethnicities, and creeds. Because of this, we are committed to ensuring that we provide opportunities for everyone to learn, create, express themselves, and tell their stories. Hip Pocket Theatre strives to provide a place where all are welcomed, included, and provided equitable opportunities to experiment with their own artistic style and vision.
