Celebrating its 35th Anniversary, the Clarence Brown Theatre is home to the Clarence Brown Theatre Professional Company, the University Company and the undergraduate performance group. Our season offers a varied repertoire of plays and musicals featuring nationally renowned guest artists.
The University of Tennessee is one of only 27 universities nationwide that is affiliated with the League of Resident Theatres (LORT). This professional theatre affiliation allows students regular opportunities to work alongside professional actors, directors,
designers, and production artists.
The Clarence Brown Theatre Company presents a varied repertoire of plays featuring nationally and internationally known guest artists, making the Clarence Brown Theatre one of the finest theatres in the Southeastern region of the United States. Built in 1970 and dedicated to Clarence Brown, a University of Tennessee alumnus and distinguished film director, this 576-seat proscenium theatre presents a wide variety of theatrical and dance performances by faculty, students, and professional guest artists.
For over 50 years, theatre on the campus of the University of Tennessee has enriched the cultural life of our region and enhanced the learning experiences of our students. This vital blend of professional and educational theatre creates a challenging obligation and an exciting opportunity: to present our audiences and students a diverse range of dramatic material. Plays that are new or seldom produced are combined with favorite comedies, musicals, and dramas of the classical and contemporary theatre. Each year, our season is carefully selected to fulfill both our educational and entertainment missions.
