Description
The Tennessee Theatre: A Grand Entertainment Palace is a comprehensive history of the Official State Theatre of Tennessee, featuring over 85 years of history told via a fascinating narrative and through hundreds of images: photographs, advertisements, posters & tickets, and more. The hard-bound, full color, 228-page book documents the unique story of how the Tennessee was planned, designed and built; how it influenced and shaped entertainment options in Knoxville throughout the 20th century; and how its comprehensive restoration and renovation served as a catalyst for the revitalization of downtown Knoxville in the 21st century. The book will serve as a permanent record of the Tennessee's important place in Knoxville history, and it will educate future generations interested in historic preservation, arts and entertainment, and local civic pride.
