This theater is about to be a (Studio) Tenn. Studio Tenn, a professional theater company in Franklin, announced it will call The Factory at Franklin its permanent home.
The multimillion-dollar theater will be named Turner Theater in honor of philanthropist Cal Turner’s donation to the arts program. A tentative opening is set for August before the start of the 2023-2024 season — which will also mark the first time in the organization’s history that all of a season’s performances debut in one location.
