In 1987 the State of Tennessee commissioned the Governor's School for the Arts. The School is based at Middle Tennessee State University located near Nashville.
The Theatre Program is made up of 18-25 gifted high-school Juniors and Seniors who have been selected from across the state to partcipate in an intense series of workshops culminating in a public performance at the end of the summer term.
