The Hippodrome Theatre or Wabash Theatre is a historic theater in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA.

Theater manager Theodore W. Barhydt decided to build a theater in the area and enlisted the help of noted theater architect John Eberson to design the building. The German Renaissance structure officially opened on February 15, 1915, with a grand opening celebration attended by local dignitaries such as Indiana governor Samuel M. Ralston and vaudeville moguls like Joseph M. Finn, Marcus Heiman, and Asher Levy.^[2]^[3]^{:Part 1, p. 16}
