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 fi nest venues where you have the confi dence in knowing that your advertising message is actually being seen. No fast forward-ing, no channel surfi ng, and no distractions before the curtain goes up...everyone is focused on their Playbill.

We are thankful for all our readers and advertisers...couldn’t do it without you!

Enjoy the show!

Gary & Robin

Enjoy the show!

Jackson nance (Huckleberry Finn) Jackson is 13 and hails from Hattiesburg, MS. He moved to Nashville as an 8 year old. His parents kept telling him he had a great voice, but he didn’t believe them so they took him to a friend’s house to record him singing thinking that if he could hear what they were hearing, he would believe them. He sang the chorus of “STAY” by Sugarland. Sure nuff, when he heard it played back he said,”Dang, I can sing”. In what was only his 4th public performance ever, he sang “LIGHTS” by Journey and won the 15yrs or younger overall division in a National talent competition. Since then, he has played out anywhere anyone will let him. He’s played in bars, grills, nursing homes, festivals, funerals, and private parties. He’s had the opportunity to sing at Randy Owen’s farm and perform many times with Little Texas and legendary guitarist Reggie Young. It was costing so much to pay a musician every time he sang out, that he decided to learn to play guitar. He found his second love, next only to singing.

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.

JAKE SPECK EXECuTIVE PRODuCER / MANAGING DIRECTOR

Jake moved back to his hometown of Nashville in 2010 after completing a 2 year run on broadway in the multiple Tony Award winning musical Jersey Boys. Most recently Jake made his Studio Tenn debut as Juror #8 in Twelve Angry Men and has continued shooting his recurring role as Steve on the AbC series Nashville. This winter he will be shooting the feature film Elizabeth and working alongside some of his favorite Nashville actors. After a decorated high school career and a couple of years spent performing locally in Nashville and singing with the group Nickajack (Developmental record deal, Asylum Records) Jake moved to New York City, having been awarded the highest national scholarship offered by the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Since graduating from AMDA in October 2003 Jake has worked with Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning lyricist Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler On The Roof), Two-time Tony Award winning director Des McAnuff (Big River, The Who’s Tommy, Jersey Boys), Academy Award winning writer Marshall brickman (Annie Hall) and five time Tony Award winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman (The Producers). Mr. Speck’s professional career has taken him across the country performing in such shows as Kiss Me Kate, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Forever Plaid, The Melville Boys and many more. In 2005 Jake appeared in the film version of Mel brooks’ hit musical The Producers. With Jersey Boys Mr. Speck has performed live on the Emmy Awards, the Tony Awards, at the Taste of Chicago festival, sang the 7th Inning Stretch at Wrigley field, performed on the steps of city hall for the World Series Champion New York Yankees and was one of four broadway cast members invited to the White House to perform for the President. It is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream to return to Nashville and create a theatre company in the city that inspired him to make the arts his life’s work. Thanks and love to Emily, Nash & Noah!
