Tennessee Performing Arts Center Venue Information

Situated at 505 Deaderick Street in downtown Nashville, Tennessee 37219, TPAC occupies a full city block between 5th and 6th Avenues North and Deaderick and Union Streets, only steps from the Tennessee State Capitol and Legislative Plaza. Opened in 1980 after visionary planning by philanthropist Martha Ingram, the center was born from a $5 million endowment (now $20 million) to foster accessible arts. Housed in the James K. Polk Cultural Center beneath a state office building, it features three proscenium and black-box theaters designed for versatility: Andrew Jackson Hall (2,472 seats) for epics, James K. Polk Theater (1,075 seats) for intimate musicals, and Andrew Johnson Theater (up to 264 seats) for avant-garde. TPAC also oversees the historic War Memorial Auditorium across the street (up to 1,661 seats).

Performances typically start at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening 60 minutes prior; matinees vary. The complex is fully ADA-compliant, offering wheelchair-accessible seating, ramps, elevators (note: no elevator to Polk’s Grand Tier), assistive listening devices, audio descriptions for select shows, and sign language interpretation upon request. Parking is abundant but separate with valet via Metropolis ($25-35) operates two hours pre- and post-show on 6th Avenue, while self-parking garages nearby cost $10-20. Metered street spots fill fast; avoid bagged meters to dodge tows. Concessions include bars and cafes (cashless, with full bars for 21+ events), but no outside food, but water bottles are permitted. A clear bag policy enhances security, and smoking is prohibited indoors. For rentals, contact 615-782-4086; public events dominate, with education programs reaching 100,000+ students yearly.

Tennessee Performing Arts Center Seating Options

TPAC’s theaters boast thoughtful designs prioritizing sightlines and comfort, with interactive charts on tpac.org for previews. Configurations adapt per show (e.g., vomitorium setups in Polk remove seats), but continental or aisle layouts ensure flow. Total across venues: 3,811 seats, including pit and accessible options. Rows skip I and O in Polk for clarity; digital tickets show exact views.

Andrew Jackson Hall

TPAC’s flagship for Broadway and concerts, this 2,472-seat (including 47 pit) grand hall features a 130×53-foot stage with 57×36-foot proscenium. Continental seating means side aisles only—no center walkway—for uninterrupted flow. Loge boxes provide a luxury VIP experience.

Balcony

Elevated at the top (rows AA-JJ+), the Balcony offers sweeping overviews, ideal for over-the-shoulder stage immersion. Seats 101-200+ per side; slight rake minimizes obstructions. Pros: Budget-friendly ($40-80), great for visuals in dance like iLuminate. Cons: Distance from action; stairs-heavy (elevators available). Best for: Groups seeking value without intimacy.

Orchestra

Ground-level heart (rows A-Z), divided left/center/right with 1,500+ seats plus pit. Center rows F-M (seats 101-120) align perfectly with performers. Pros: Electric proximity ($150-300+), superior sound; pit ($100-200) edges the stage for select musicals. Cons: Front rows may crane necks. Accessible spots throughout. Best for: Immersive theater like The Outsiders.

James K. Polk Theater

A 1,075-seat (44 pit) proscenium gem with 87×50-foot stage, Polk excels in mid-scale musicals and operas, blending intimacy with fly space for spectacle.

Orchestra

Front-and-center (rows A-HH, skipping I/O), with two center and outer aisles for easy access. 800+ seats; rows AA-CC yield to pit for orchestras. Pros: Close-up energy ($80-200), even acoustics. Cons: Vomitorium configs remove 36 seats (108-110, 301-303 in A-E/DD). Accessible behind row W. Best for: Vocal-forward shows like Improvised Shakespeare.

Grand Tier

Mid-level overlook (rows A-DD), hovering above Orchestra for balanced vistas without premium cost. Seats mirror below; no elevator—stairs only. Pros: Clear lines to full proscenium ($100-180), less crowded. Cons: Potential overhang on rear Orchestra. Best for: Symphonies where elevation enhances sound.

Andrew Johnson Theater

TPAC’s flexible black-box space (up to 264 seats) on a 59×54-foot thrust stage, perfect for experimental or in-the-round setups like cabarets. Elevator access; configurations vary (thrust/cabaret/end-stage).

Balcony

In thrust modes, upper “balcony” tiers (if configured) provide elevated surrounds on sides/rear, seating 50-80. Pros: 360-degree intimacy ($50-100). Cons: Limited; depends on layout. Best for: Immersive plays.

Orchestra

Core flexible seating (rows A-D or open floor), often in-the-round with 150-200 chairs. Pros: Proximity to action ($60-120), adaptable for Christmas with C.S. Lewis-style storytelling. Cons: No fixed aisles; arrive early. Accessible via elevator. Best for: Avant-garde where audience proximity shines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Parking included in the ticket?

No, parking is not included in the ticket price—it’s a separate convenience fee for most guests. That said, yes, there is plenty of on-site parking available, ensuring easy access even on peak nights. Valet service by Metropolis ($25-35) operates via app on 6th Avenue (drop-off two hours pre-show), fitting most vehicles (no oversized vans/Hummers). Self-parking garages adjacent cost $10-20; accessible spots reserved with advance notice. Street meters nearby but competitive—use NDOT zones on Deaderick for rideshares. Buses/vans get free permits via Group Sales. Pre-book via apps like SpotHero for deals; tailgating prohibited.

Where are the best seats at Tennessee Performing Arts Center

“Best” varies by show and preference, but center Orchestra rows F-M in Andrew Jackson Hall (seats 101-120) top lists for Broadway immersion—close to the 57-foot proscenium without distortion ($200+). For value, Grand Tier front in Polk or rows T-W Orchestra in Jackson offer eye-level balance ($100-180). Avoid far sides or very front for neck strain; Loge boxes add exclusivity. Polk’s center Orchestra shines for intimacy, while Johnson’s in-the-round maximizes engagement. Preview via tpac.org charts; for music, elevated tiers enhance acoustics.

Are there any age restrictions?

Age policies depend on the promoter and event—always verify on tpac.org—but TPAC itself requires tickets for all attendees, making it welcoming for families. Most shows (e.g., The Nutcracker or iLuminate) have no minimum, with lap-sitting for under-2s if unobstructed. Adult-oriented events may flag 18+/21+ (ID checked at door), like late-night cabarets, but enforcement is promoter-specific. Season for Young People caters to kids; quiet/sensory spaces available.
