Letter from the Publishers
Dear Readers,
At a time when hard copy print publications are rapidly
disappearing in favor of the ipad, iphone, kindle or whatever
the next device may be that replaces print...it’s comforting to
know that there are venues that exist where we still cherish
the hard copy printed word. You know what we’re talking
about...that special time just before the curtain goes up at
TPAC, Schermerhorn,The Franklin Theatre and the Martha
Rivers Ingram Center for the Performing Arts at Vanderbilt.
Clearly the performing arts venue setting is going to be the
last bastion for print in America.
If you or your company is interested in advertising, please
let us know. We offer a very unique advertising package that
not only includes all seven Playbill publications listed below,
but also our very popular newsstand annual guide, Nashville
Arts & Entertainment. We are the only print publisher in
Nashville that offers our advertisers newsstand exposure plus
the finest venues where you have the confidence in knowing
that your advertising message is actually being seen. No fast
forwarding, no channel surfing, and no distractions before the
curtain goes up...everyone is focused on their Playbill.
We are thankful for all our readers and advertisers...couldn’t
do it without you!
Enjoy the show!

GivinG heart failure patients
A new LeAse on Life
Shortly after having her baby, Jessica was diagnosed with
heart failure. While she waited for a transplant, she needed
a heart pump. Through the care of the cardiac specialists
at Saint Thomas Heart, Jessica’s heart was given new life
by implanting a ventricular assist device (VAD) that helps
the weakened heart pump blood throughout the body.
Now, Jessica has a new lease on life.
With more than 25 practice offices located throughout
the region, our physicians offer greater access to the
high level of experienced care that Saint Thomas Heart is
known for. Call 800-345-5016 to schedule an appointment
with a Saint Thomas Heart cardiologist in your area.

ABOUT STUDIO TENN
Studio Tenn Theatre Company was founded in the Fall of 2009 by nationally recognized director
and artist Matt Logan, Emmy Award winning producer Philip Hall and broadway and Film actress
Marguerite Lowell Hall. The company’s inaugural production of Thorton Wilder’s Our Town was an
enormous success and enough to convince Studio Tenn’s founders that this was something which
could continue! Shortly thereafter Jake Speck left the broadway cast of Jersey Boys to join Studio
Tenn as its Managing Director. Together, Speck and Logan produced Studio Tenn’s first two seasons to
much critical acclaim and are thrilled to be continuing their work as the resident professional theatre
company of the Franklin Theatre!
Studio Tenn is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and we cannot operate without the generous support
of our sponsors and donors! It is the mission of Studio Tenn to use a rich combination of talent
from Nashville and broadway to bring classic works of drama and musical theatre to life in Middle
Tennessee; and, to provide innovative educational programs designed to entertain, educate, and
inspire the rising artists of our unique community.
If you would like more information on how you can donate, sponsor or get involved please visit our
website at www.studiotenn.com or email [email protected].
ABOUT THE FRANKLIN THEATRE
built in 1937, the legendary Franklin Theatre re-opened in June 2011 following a four-year multi-milliondollar restoration spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County. The 300seat theater resumed the tradition of showing current-run and classic movies, and added live music to
its repertoire as well as professional live theatre in partnership with Studio Tenn. For more information
about the Franklin Theatre, go to www.franklintheatre.com
JAKE SPECK
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER / MANAGING DIRECTOR
Jake moved back to his hometown of Nashville in 2010 after
completing a 2 year run on broadway in the multiple Tony Award
winning musical Jersey Boys. Most recently Jake made his Studio
Tenn debut as Juror #8 in Twelve Angry Men and has continued
shooting his recurring role as Steve on the AbC series Nashville. This
winter he will be shooting the feature film Elizabeth and working
alongside some of his favorite Nashville actors. After a decorated
high school career and a couple of years spent performing locally
in Nashville and singing with the group Nickajack (Developmental
record deal, Asylum Records) Jake moved to New York City, having
been awarded the highest national scholarship offered by the
American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Since graduating from
AMDA in October 2003 Jake has worked with Tony Award and
Pulitzer Prize winning lyricist Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler On The Roof),
Two-time Tony Award winning director Des McAnuff (Big River, The
Who’s Tommy, Jersey Boys), Academy Award winning writer Marshall
brickman (Annie Hall) and five time Tony Award winning director
and choreographer Susan Stroman (The Producers). Mr. Speck’s
professional career has taken him across the country performing in
such shows as Kiss Me Kate, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Forever Plaid,
The Melville Boys and many more. In 2005 Jake appeared in the film
version of Mel brooks’ hit musical The Producers. With Jersey Boys
Mr. Speck has performed live on the Emmy Awards, the Tony Awards,
at the Taste of Chicago festival, sang the 7th Inning Stretch at
Wrigley Field, performed on the steps of city hall for the World Series
Champion New York Yankees and was one of four broadway cast
members invited to the White House to perform for the President. It
is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream to return to Nashville and create
a theatre company in the city that inspired him to make the arts his
life’s work. Thanks and love to Emily, Nash & Noah!
MATT LOGAN
DIRECTOR / DESIGNER / ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Mr. Logan is a graduate of Pepperdine University where he
apprenticed under theatre legend John Raitt and received the John
Raitt Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Theatre Arts. As an
actor he has preformed with Performance Riverside, McCoy Rigby
Entertainment, Tennessee Repertory Theatre, Rattlestick Theatre
NY, the Actors Fund of NY, Lincoln Center and San Francisco Opera.
He has worked on the production side of multiple broadway shows
and assisted Tara Rubin Casting in the casting of broadway’s The
Phantom of the Opera, Jersey Boys, Spamalot and Shrek. Mr. Logan
has also reached national acclaim as a broadway illustrator. In 2010
The New York Times crowned him “Heir to the Hirschfeld tradition”.
His portraits have found their way into the private collections of
celebrity clients Hugh Jackman, bernadette Peters, Jude Law, Martin
Short, Mike Nichols, Dolly Parton, Mary Tyler Moore, Katie Holmes,
Harry Connick Jr. and Morgan Freeman. He began his professional
directing career at the age of nineteen. In the Fall of 2009 Mr. Logan
became the founding Artistic Director of Studio Tenn, Nashville’s
newest professional theatre and resident company of historic Franklin
Theatre. He has since directed two critically acclaimed seasons with
Studio Tenn.
