Step back in time to the artistic beauty of the Art Nouveau period and join us for an unforgettable evening at our 20th Anniversary Fundraiser Gala at The Cordelle, a gorgeous, late-1800s Victorian mansion just outside of Downtown Nashville.

We gather on Friday, May 2nd, from 7-10 PM for a night of elegance, entertainment, and fundraising to support our 2025-2026 artistic programming.

Live Entertainment: Considered the birth period of jazz, immerse yourself in the 1910s with live performances by talented local musicians and entertainers. Our featured performer for the evening will be the incomparable Will Merrell.

Drinks & Hors d’oeuvres: Indulge in a selection of wine, cocktails, and mocktails. Pair your drinks with hors d’oeuvres and desserts inspired by the flavors of the Art Nouveau era.

Season Reveal: Be the first to know what is coming up in our 2025/2026 Season, with special sneak peek performances.

Charity Auction: Bid on exclusive items and experiences generously donated by local businesses and supporters, with all proceeds going towards Street Theatre Company's mission to create modern, innovative theatre.

Dress Code: Formal attire is encouraged, and guests are invited to embrace the Gala's Art Nouveau theme - flowing lines, soft colors, and elegant sophistication. (Think Titanic!) STC is for everyone, no matter your style: cocktail attire, business casual, street clothes… Come as you are! Whether in a gown, jeans, a tuxedo, or a creative mix, your presence sets the tone for the evening.

A VIP Experience: Treat yourself to an exclusive VIP ticket and enjoy a welcome glass of Champagne, private VIP lounge access, and a private, immersive entertainment experience.
