Tennessee Theatre Tour: Live and In Person
August 27, 2025 @ 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. |
Jack Neely of the Knoxville History Project will lead an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Historic Tennessee Theatre. He will relate the theatre’s extravagant story, which has included countless first-run regional movie premieres (and a few world premieres), and also thousands of live performances, including Desi Arnaz; Glenn Miller and his famous orchestra; Fannie Brice and the Ziegfeld Follies; legendary cowboy Tom Mix’s rodeo; Bob Dylan, Diana Ross, Lou Reed, Johnny Cash, Lionel Hampton and composer Philip Glass. It was also the first theater that Roy Acuff performed in, and the last for Chet Atkins. A limited number of tickets are available for $30.
