About Street Theatre Company

STREET THEATRE COMPANY was founded in 2005 by Cathy Street here in Nashville. Since then, STC has become a major theater in Nashville reliably bringing quality productions to the community. With a rogue sensibility and a lean and professional work ethic, we strive to bring interesting and challenging works to the stage while employing some of the finest artists, actors, singers, dancers, technicians, musicians, and craftspeople in the city.

Past shows include STC hits such as Avenue Q, Spamalot, Hairspray, Violet, Passing Strange, Spring Awakening, Miss Saigon, Batboy. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Caroline or Change, In the Heights, Assassins, Urinetown, Pippin, and scores of others. See our full list of past performances HERE.

With a history of plaudits, great reviews, and regional recognition, Street Theatre Company has placed itself among the vanguard of Nashville theaters.

As part of our mission, STC created ClassAct Dramatics: a place where the youth of Nashville can work, study, play, and create. ClassAct runs a number of educational and performance camps and full-scale productions per year. In 2016, ClassAct Dramatics produced the Nashville premiere of Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s School of Rock!


As always, STC remains committed to professionalism, diversity, accessibility, and inclusivity. We’re a registered 501(c)(3) with the US federal government. As such, we rely on community donations and sponsorships in order to keep our ticket prices low and our seats affordable.

LAnd acknowledgement


 We recognize that the land we occupy belonged first to the Indigenous People before it came to be known as the city of Nashville, the state of Tennessee, or as the United States of America.  To commemorate the history and legacy of this land, we recognize the following:

  • Nashville is built upon the homelands and villages of the Indigenous Peoples of this region including the Shawnee, Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Yuchi tribal nations;

  • The name “Tennessee” is derived from “Tanasi”, a Cherokee village which served as the de facto capital of the Overhill Cherokee. The site was submerged by the creation of the Tellico Reservoir in 1979 and now lies under the Tellico Lake in Monroe County;

  • in 1838 the Cherokee Nation was forcibly removed to the lands west of the Mississippi, and the northern route of this 'Trail of Tears' passed through Nashville;

  • Our ability to live and work in this state is the result of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement. To ignore this history would be to perpetuate injustice to the Indigenous Peoples who continue to seek reparations and reclaim lands that were once theirs.

  • We provide this land acknowledgement in recognition and respect of Indigenous sovereignty. We recognize that this acknowledgment by itself is a small gesture and that it becomes meaningful when followed by informed action.
