“Turner Theater aims to be the jewel of The Factory at Franklin with state-of-the-art productions, room for 329 patrons, gathering areas, and even a balcony. 

‘I come from a lineage of big theaters,’ says Studio Tenn’s Managing Director Todd Morgan. ‘When you think of a professional theater, you think of something purposefully built. It’s a venue that reflects the productions and adds to the experience.’

The Turner Theater is expected to be finished in August 2023, just in time for Studio Tenn’s 2023-24 season! It will be Studio Tenn’s first season with all of the performances taking place in the same location since the theater company’s inception in 2009.”
