1985 Society

Inspiring the next act of Nashville Repertory Theatre.

In 1985, a bold vision took center stage in Nashville. It established a home for professional theatre, championed local artists, and brought powerful stories to life for Middle Tennessee audiences.

In honor of that founding year and the enduring impact of the stage, Nashville Repertory Theatre proudly introduces the 1985 Society, a distinguished annual giving circle that sustains artistic excellence and secures the Rep’s legacy for generations to come.

Members of the 1985 Society enjoy exclusive recognition, access, and experiences that bring them closer to the artistry they make possible.
