Tennessee Performing Arts Center - Andrew Jackson Hall TICKETS

Tennessee Performing Arts Center

The Tennessee Performing Arts Complex is a three-theatre facility that occupies an entire block in downtown Nashville. The idea for the large-scale performing arts facility came from Martha Rivers Ingram, who was on the board of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and wanted to see something similar in her hometown. After eight years of campaigning, the TPAC was opened in 1980. The building's three theatres are each named after the three US presidents that hailed from Tennessee, and with a seating capacity of 2,472, Andrew Jackson Hall is the largest theatre in the complex. The spacious proscenium theatre features continental seating and it is the perfect setting for Broadway productions.

After renovations in 2003, guests can now enjoy a new and improved lobby, featuring a 30-foot-wide wall of water known as “Tennessee Falls,” a beautiful and interactive art installation, stunning interior and exterior views, and improved amenities, including two elevators, three times the number of facilities in the renovated restrooms, and a box office counter.
