Be Part of the Magic
Your generosity sustains the artists, stories, and experiences that unite our community.
Theatre isn’t passive. It pulls you in. It asks you to feel, to witness, to believe. It reminds us what it means to be human.
As a nonprofit, Studio Tenn brings the magic to life through world-class performances built from scratch with wood, fabric, sweat, soul, and always with love.
