Additional Programs

This program provides high school juniors and seniors with an in-depth look at non-performance careers in the arts. Each month, participants will learn about various areas in theatre, such as non-profit management, careers on/off stage, the importance of arts in community, grant funding – all from industry and area professionals. Students will work together on a year-long project, all while meeting like-minded students and learning what makes theatre unique.

These sessions are held for each of our Broadway shows for attendees of all ages. Sessions include in-depth conversations about each show - how they came to be, the process of making a Broadway show, and more - led by Kristin Stultz Pressley (Dr. Broadway.) 

• Tours are tailored for the group based on age, classroom learning, and areas of interest. Tour availability is limited and dependent upon Theatre and staff schedules. 
• Students can now take a look inside the Tennessee Theatre from anywhere through our virtual tour. (Now available in Spanish.)

We offer hands-on learning experiences with Broadway professionals from the touring shows performing at the Tennessee. Workshops may include dance, vocal, audition, makeup, percussion, and more. Upcoming events will be listed when available.

We want to empower and inspire the educators who are leading the youth, audiences, and artists of tomorrow with special presentations, workshops, and talks. Educators' Nights provide an opportunity to learn from arts professionals, performers, and others working in arts education. These are available for select shows, and will be announced in our Educator Newsletter list and on social media.

For the past four summers, camps have been offered in partnership with local theater teacher, Amanda Taylor. While this program is not free to participants, scholarships may be available.
