Nashville TPAC, Water for Elephants, May 2026

TENNESSEE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER®

A NOTE FROM

JENNIFER TURNER

President & CEO

Welcome to Tennessee Performing Arts Center and thank you for being with us during this extraordinary moment in TPAC’s story.

As we continue celebrating our 45th anniversary season, we’re not only honoring the legacy that brought us here, we’re giving shape to what comes next. With the recent unveiling of the designs for our new performance home on Nashville’s East Bank, that future is now something we can begin to see and share together.

These renderings represent more than a new building. They reflect a vision for how the arts can live and grow in our city. Our new home is designed to elevate every aspect of the guest experience. Plans include modern acoustics, state-of-the-art technology, improved sightlines, expanded amenities, enhanced ADA services, and welcoming lobby spaces, all working together to create a world-class journey from arrival to curtain call.

While we look toward this future home, our commitment to the experience you have today at the Polk Cultural Center remains unchanged. Throughout this transition, audiences can expect the same level of service, performance quality and care that has defined TPAC for more than four decades.

The excitement surrounding this next chapter is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a community believes in the arts. It builds on everything TPAC has stood for and carries that purpose forward in new and meaningful ways.

We invite you to explore the vision, follow our progress or learn how you can support at TPAC.ORG/BOLD.

Thank you for being part of this milestone season and this defining moment for TPAC.

Enjoy the performance!

Warm regards,

Jennifer Turner President & CEO
