2 Best Performing Arts Venues in Nashville, Tennessee

This converted cigar warehouse is now the prime destination for contemporary arts in Nashville. The grounds are dotted with outrageous sculptures, and the hallways are full of display cases with rotating exhibits of envelope-pushing visual art. But, of course, the primary function of Oz Arts is a venue for unique performances. From dance to theater to music to puppetry, nothing appears to be off-limits at Oz. If you crave something more than a tame ballet, let Oz inspire you with their modern lineup of boundary-crossing, discipline-bending art.

The Pull-Tight Players formed in 1968 and set up shop in their current location in 1985.

Between the small size of the theater and the popularity of the productions, it’s best to get tickets in advance.
