Happy February Reader,
As we make the slow transition into this year's spring, the theatres of Rutherford County in turn blossom with season announcements, new events, courses, classes and so much more.
Let's get into it!
Bravo Boro kicks the new year off with a promising line-up of shows and a brand-new website!

This show will run Feb. 24th-26th & March 3rd-5th so go get your tickets now!
Consider This Theatre rolls out a whole slew of exciting shows, including the much anticipated Disney's Beauty and The Beast, which they will be holding auditions for on February 6th–8th. If you’re an actor looking to hit the stage with a big-name title, mark your calendars. You can get tickets and stay up to date with their upcoming auditions through their website.
Center For the Arts begins their season strong with the hit Broadway musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I am personally eagerly awaiting their upcoming production of Rent, the musical, which is set to run February 10th-26th. With Director Keri Boe and a stellar cast of strong singers and actors, this production is sure to be a thrilling hit! Get your tickets for this and more on their website.
Ghost Light Studio brings a tidal wave of new energy this year with their first ever full season of productions, including a comical retelling of the beloved classic Pygmalion of a Fashion, written by Edward Creely. GLS finds themselves in an exciting new location while partnering with the Mills Pate Arts Center. As they help with renovations, they are beginning to launch courses such as, Student Improv Club, dance, and an all-new adult course, Advocacy in Musical Theatre.

Murfreesboro Little Theatre wraps up a touching performance of Peter Pan Jr. through partnership with the Penguin Project. They released a fun-filled new lineup of shows and events this year, including the upcoming auditions for Much Ado About Nothing which will be performed as their annual Backyard Barn event. If you’re looking for summer fun for your students, it’s never too soon to sign up for MLT’s annual summer camp for kids! For more information about this and to get tickets, visit their website.
For actors and theatre goers alike, this is sure to be one of the most impressive years of Rutherford County theatre we have seen in a very long time. It gives me joy to see the flourishing artists making it out of a difficult season for the arts and like a flower after the rain, they bloom because of it.
Until next time,
Poem
“Theatre is a powerful art form,
it teaches lessons about life, society and emotion,
and more importantly, yourself.”
