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 the cast of JERSEY BOYS to join Studio Tenn. In 2010 Speck, as Managing Director, and Logan, as Artistic Director, 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 iconic Franklin Theatre.

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

As a nonprofit organization, Studio Tenn cannot operate without the generous support of corporate sponsors and individual donors. We greatly appreciate this support and hope to give back to our community in a way that’s makes all involved with very proud.
