By 2030, TPAC will have a new home just across the river from Lower Broadway.
Yesterday, the performing arts center shared 10+ renderings of its future 307,000-sqft East Bank campus, which will house four performance halls.
A large hall for touring Broadway productions
A dance and opera house
A flexible black box theater
An intimate cabaret room
It will also have a rehearsal space, a sensory room, and a rooftop terrace overlooking the Cumberland River. The exterior draws inspiration from organ pipes and chimes, with aluminum tubes arranged to create openings and covered walkways.
TPAC’s current home will remain open during construction, which is expected to begin in 2027.
If you’re eager to try a new restaurant this weekend — perhaps one that looks this vibey inside — Fishmonger’s second Nashville location is now open in Wedgewood-Houston, with dinner reservations still up for grabs.

Nashville Yards is set to host a spring market at Ascension Saint Thomas Landing on Sunday, April 19 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Get there early to shop from these local vendors, then swing by the IAMS Bark Park grand opening at 12 p.m.
Civic
Last call. NDOT wants all remaining winter storm vegetation debris at the curb by this Sunday. Once collection wraps, inspectors will canvass every street before announcing when regular brush pickup resumes. Crews have already picked up nearly 2 million cubic yards, up from 87,000 cubic yards total in 2025.

Don’t forget, tomorrow is Record Store Day. Alternatively, if there’s a record you want to get off your hands, take it to Hatch Show Print and trade it for a limited-edition print. The swap begins at 9 a.m. tomorrow and runs until the prints are gone.
Theater
Studio Tenn revealed its 2026-2027 season, and some might call it creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky — at least to start. “The Addams Family” kicks off the season in October, followed by four more productions through May 2027.

As I shared earlier this week, my dog nephew is assisting me with the newsletter while his family is out of town, and he wanted me to remind everyone that Cheekwood’s Dogs & Dogwoods is tomorrow and Sunday. There will be water refill stations, but it’s BYOB (bring your own bowl).
