Happy July Readers,
This summer holds a lot of growth in the theatre community as we see the blossoming of multiple new performing arts groups and venues such as the Inner Light Family Theatre, The Station Theatre, and more. Let’s work to build a sense of community rather than competition in this thriving performing arts mecca we call Middle Tennessee!
Consider This Theatre closed their spectacular production of Beauty and the Beast last week. After a few rounds of successful auditions, they gear up for their next production Role4 Initiative, an original comedy play written by locals Jessica Wells and Karl Ripka. This show follows a hilarious ensemble cast as they role play in a Dungeons and Dragons style game.

This is just a taste of the local theatre we are blessed with in middle Tennessee. We are a thriving community thanks to local theatre goers such as yourself.
On behalf of all the local performers I say thank you. Until next time,
