“When we got to Williamson, there were people waiting on me. They knew exactly what to do.” –elizabeth tyer
At Williamson Medical Center, our story is best told by our patients. They have been here. They know us well. To Elizabeth Tyer, Williamson Medical Center is where she got her life back. She never expected to have a “widow maker” heart attack in her early 40s, but when she called EMS after sickness that worsened by the hour, our paramedics were able to communicate the status of Elizabeth’s condition so that when they arrived, doctors and nurses were standing by and ready to go. She had a stent inserted into her aortic artery within the hour and credits the fast response time and knowledgeable cardiologists at WMC with the reason she is here to tell her story today. We want to hear your story.

MATT LOGAN
(Director/Designer, Artistic Director) An accomplished designer, director, illustrator and performer, Matt Logan is first and foremost a storyteller—drawing on his multi-disciplinary talents to create a comprehensive signature aesthetic that connects every aspect of a Studio Tenn production, from the set to the stitching. One of a rare few Director/Designers in the industry, Logan made his professional directorial debut at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) at the age of 19. He attended Pepperdine University on a Design Scholarship where he apprenticed under theatre legend John Raitt and received the John Raitt Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Theatre Arts. Upon graduating, Logan worked on Broadway in costuming for GYPSY, THE LION KING, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and OKLAHOMA. He assisted Tara Rubin Casting for THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, JERSEY BOYS, SPAMALOT and SHREK. A nationally recognized illustrator and caricature artist, Logan was named by The New York Times as an heir to the Al Hirschfeld tradition for his Broadway portraiture. His celebrity clients include Hugh Jackman, Bernadette Peters, Jude Law, Martin Short, Mike Nichols, Dolly Parton, Mary Tyler Moore, Katie Holmes, Harry Connick Jr. and Morgan Freeman. Recently, his privately commissioned drawing for AN AMERICAN IN PARIS was submitted to the Library of Congress by the George Gershwin estate. As an actor, Logan’s credits include Performance Riverside (INTO THE WOODS, SCARLET PIMPERNEL, THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD), McCoy Rigby Entertainment (THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN starring Cathy Rigby), Tennessee Repertory Theatre (1776), Rattlestick Theatre NY (MESSAGE FOR MICHAEL), the Actors Fund of NY (ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY starring Douglas Sills and Marin Mazzie), and San Francisco Opera (THE MERRY WIDOW starring Fredrica Von Stade) which aired on PBS in the winter of 2009. He also starred as Henry Higgins in Studio Tenn’s 2013 production of MY FAIR LADY. In the fall of 2009 Logan became the founding Artistic Director of Studio Tenn. He has since directed and designed five critically acclaimed seasons with Studio Tenn in addition to the company’s debut production of OUR TOWN at the Loveless Barn. The sold-out performances secured Studio Tenn as a major force in the artistic landscape of Tennessee. Logan then led a partnership with Show Hope by directing and designing Rodgers and Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA with the Nashville Symphony and a star-studded cast including Tony award winner Heather Headley. In the height of his artistic leadership, Logan was named Best Director of 2014 by the Nashville Scene.
JAKE SPECK
(Executive Producer, Managing Director) Jake returned to his native Nashville in 2010 after completing a two-year run in the Tony-winning Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS—a show that led him to perform at the Emmy Awards, the Tony Awards, and for the President and First Lady at the White House. His current role as Studio Tenn’s Managing Director fulfills a lifelong dream: to create a theatre company in his home city that inspired his career in the arts. After high school, Speck spent a couple of years performing locally and singing with the group Nickajack (Developmental record deal, Asylum Records) before moving to New York to accept the highest national scholarship offered by the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA). Following graduation, he worked with numerous Tony Award-winning theatre veterans, including Pulitzer Prize-winning lyricist Sheldon Harnick (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF), director Des McAnuff (BIG RIVER, THE WHO’S TOMMY, JERSEY BOYS), Academy Award-winning writer Marshall Brickman (ANNIE HALL) and director and choreographer Susan Stroman (THE PRODUCERS). Speck’s New York credits include creating the role of Chuck Yeager in THE FASTEST WOMAN ALIVE and Mike in LIFE SCIENCE, both Off Broadway. He has toured the country in professional productions of KISS ME KATE, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, FOREVER PLAID, THE MELVILLE BOYS and more. In Nashville, he starred among Broadway veterans in Show Hope’s CINDERELLA with the Nashville Symphony in 2010, 2011 and 2012. He has performed at the Taste of Chicago festival, during the 7th Inning Stretch at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, and on the steps of NYC’s City Hall for the World Series Champion New York Yankees. In 2005, he appeared in Mel Brooks’ musical comedy film “The Producers.” Speck continues to work in film and television and occasionally appears on the Studio Tenn stage. Recent credits include playing the “Master of the House”, Thenardier in the company’s own LES MISERABLES (2014) and Juror #8 in TWELVE ANGRY MEN (2012). Recent film credits include a guest star appearance on the new Netflix series “Master of None” opposite Aziz Ansari, 4 episodes in a recurring role in the first season of ABC’s hit TV series “Nashville,” several commercials and short films as well as the 2014 feature film “Closer to God.” Under Speck’s administrative leadership, Studio Tenn has made the Nashville Business Journal’s list of the top five performing arts organizations in Nashville for two consecutive years. Jake is married to Studio Tenn’s resident choreographer Emily Tello Speck and together they have produced three amazing sons, Nash, Noah and Leo!

WELCOME TO THE RAY LEGACY AND OUR SEASON OF MID-CENTURY MASTERS It is a thrill and a great honor to present the third installment of Studio Tenn’s original Legacy series, The Ray Legacy: A Tribute to The Soulful Genius. A true Mid-Century Master, Ray Charles innovatively combined soul, R&B, gospel, swing and jazz—ushering in a new era of popular music that has endured for decades since. We hope you enjoy this celebratory remix of his iconic catalog, presented by some of the finest talents Music City has to offer. All season long, we are celebrating the great minds who have shaped modern popular theatre, film and music: from Broadway’s Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Tennessee Williams, Jule Styne and Arthur Laurents to the silver screen’s Frank Capra. The works they created during the mid 1900s have become pillars of their respective disciplines for all time. It is an honor, a thrill and a lifelong dream to give their masterpieces the Studio Tenn treatment. Much like a chef or sommelier, we at Studio Tenn have carefully curated these selections for you because we believe each of them offers something wonderful worth discovering. Set aside your preconceptions and let us treat you to our fresh, innovative interpretation. After all, each production we bring to the stage is really two stories–the script is only the half of it. The second story cannot be captured on a page or screen, but it can be glimpsed in the delicate sparkle of real crystal instead of glass; in the withholding of that thunderous vibrato until exactly this note; in the subtle pinstripe of a period suit made to measure; in every word, note, stitch, step, light and beat of your custom-designed professional live theatre experience. It’s these innumerable choices and details that together tell of Studio Tenn’s devotion to our craft and to you, our audience. But unlike the script of a play or musical, this story cannot be wholly contained in two acts. This story continues to unfold–in real time–across a season, a company, a mission, and a movement.

Faith and Science
Can a cancer diagnosis make you take a leap of faith? At age 38, Caroline—wife, mother and nurse—was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. But instead of letting it take control of her life, she saw it as a second chance to truly live. She entrusted us with her life 17 years ago and has been jumping (sometimes from 13,000 feet) at every opportunity since.
Nothing shall be impossible. To schedule a screening, call 615-284-CARE or visit STHealth.com/cancer.
