Studio Tenn Theatre Company

Studio Tenn is a professional regional theatre company and a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Franklin, Tennessee. Its programming centers around innovative, custom-designed presentations of classic plays and musicals as well as an original “Legacy” series of theatrical concerts celebrating the work of time-honored musicians.

Studio Tenn was founded in 2009 by nationally recognized director and designer Matt Logan, Emmy Award-winning producer Philip Hall and Broadway and film actress Marguerite Lowell Hall. The company debuted with Thornton Wilder’s OUR TOWN, staged in the Loveless Cafe Barn. That show’s enormous success convinced the founders that Studio Tenn could—and should—continue.

Following that first pivotal production, Broadway veteran Jake Speck left cast of JERSEY BOYS to join Studio Tenn in 2010. Speck as Managing Director and Logan as Artistic Director together produced the company’s first four seasons of plays and musicals to wide critical acclaim, including three seasons as the resident professional theatre company of the newly renovated Franklin Theatre.

Just prior to the start of its fifth season, Studio Tenn relocated to The Factory at Franklin, which now houses its administrative offices, rehearsal space and primary performance venue, Jamison Hall. The company has also staged productions at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center and the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.

Studio Tenn is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and cannot operate without the generous support of corporate sponsors and individual donors.
