Letter from the Publishers Dear Readers, At a time when hard copy print publications are rapidly disappearing in favor of the ipad, iphone, kindle or whatever the next device may be that replaces print...it’s comforting to know that there are venues that exist where we still cherish the hard copy printed word. You know what we’re talking about...that special time just before the curtain goes up at TPAC, Schermerhorn,The Franklin Theatre and the Martha Rivers Ingram Center for the Performing Arts at Vanderbilt. Clearly the performing arts venue setting is going to be the last bastion for print in America. If you or your company is interested in advertising, please let us know. We offer a very unique advertising package that not only includes all seven Playbill publications listed below, but also our very popular newsstand annual guide, Nashville Arts & Entertainment. We are the only print publisher in Nashville that offers our advertisers newsstand exposure plus the finest venues where you have the confidence in knowing that your advertising message is actually being seen. No fast forwarding, no channel surfing, and no distractions before the curtain goes up...everyone is focused on their Playbill.

THE MATCHUP THAT’S NO MATCHUP.
When comparing the BMW 528i Sedan to rivals like the Mercedes E350, some stark differences quickly come to light. To start, the 528i is faster than the E350, and more fuel-efficient, with 34 mpg hwy vs. 30 with the Mercedes.* The 528i widens its lead with a comprehensive maintenance plan (that costs you nothing), and a lower MSRP than the E-Class. Looks like it’s time for a test drive of the 528i today.

aBout Studio tenn Studio Tenn Theatre Company was founded in the fall of 2009 by nationally recognized director and artist Matt Logan, Emmy Award winning producer Philip Hall and broadway and film actress Marguerite Lowell Hall. The company’s inaugural production of Thorton wilder’s Our Town was an enormous success and enough to convince Studio Tenn’s founders that this was something which could continue! Shortly thereafter Jake Speck left the broadway cast of Jersey Boys to join Studio Tenn as its Managing director. Together, Speck and Logan produced Studio Tenn’s first two seasons to much critical acclaim and are thrilled to be continuing their work as the resident professional theatre company of the franklin Theatre! Studio Tenn is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and we cannot operate without the generous support of our sponsors and donors! It is the mission of Studio Tenn to use a rich combination of talent from Nashville and broadway to bring classic works of drama and musical theatre to life in Middle Tennessee; and, to provide innovative educational programs designed to entertain, educate, and inspire the rising artists of our unique community. If you would like more information on how you can donate, sponsor or get involved please visit our website at www.studiotenn.com or email info@studiotenn.com.
aBout the FranKLin theatre Built in 1937, the legendary Franklin Theatre re-opened in June 2011 following a four-year multi-milliondollar restoration spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation of Franklin & williamson County. The 300seat theater resumed the tradition of showing current-run and classic movies, and added live music to its repertoire as well as professional live theatre in partnership with Studio Tenn.
