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.
