Join the Circle Today!

Step into the Circle. Bring great theatre to life.

At the heart of every production is a Circle, a space where artists gather around the table for the first read-through, around design models imagining the world of a show, and inside rehearsal rooms where ideas are shared, shaped, and brought to life together.

Studio Tenn Circle reflects that same spirit of collaboration and community.


From its home in Franklin, Studio Tenn brings together audiences and theatre artists from across Middle Tennessee who believe a community like ours deserves great theatre.

By joining the Circle, you will deepen your connection to Studio Tenn and the impact its work has across our region.

Why the Circle Matters

Every Studio Tenn production begins long before the lights come up. Designers imagine new worlds. Directors shape stories. Actors gather in rehearsal to bring those stories to life.
