Studio Tenn continues to bring the best of Broadway — shows and stars to Franklin with its 2025-26 season lineup at Turner Theater in The Factory at Franklin.

The season includes five productions between October 2025 and May 2026, opening with Dracula in October followed by White Christmas in December. Entering 2026, the lineup continues with the Broadway thriller Deathtrap and the award-winning comedy Boeing Boeing. The season concludes with the epic rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar starring Tony Award nominee, Adam Pascal.

“Our goal is to always bring Broadway-caliber theatre to Middle Tennessee,” said Patrick Cassidy, Artistic Director for Studio Tenn. “We continue to do that through the shows and talent we bring to the stage, and our 16th season is no different. It’s an exciting lineup with real superstars of the stage.”

And Special Guest Directors!

Matching the on-stage talent are the incredible behind-the-scenes directors. Kicking off the season is guest director Paul Vasterling, the director and choreographer behind Studio Tenn’s production of Cabaret. Familiar-face Megan Murphy Chambers who has performed in Studio Tenn productions including Cabaret, The Play That Goes Wrong and Steel Magnolias landed the role of director in this season’s chaotic comedy Boeing Boeing.
