The new concert opera PURCHASE OF MANHATTAN sings-to-life the drama of New York's hidden beginning. Was the island's price tag really $24 worth of beads? A production of the Lenape Center in Manhattan, the opera's intuitive quality captivates Indian and non-Indian audiences alike with an intelligent and inspired look into the life of Manhattan's first inhabitants, the Lenape. PURCHASE OF MANHATTAN mingles together a perfect blend of operatic and American Indian singing styles about the famous beginnings of “New Netherland,” later becoming “New Amsterdam” and finally “New York.” By keenly re-staging New York's founding from a Lenape perspective, the opera blazes uncharted territory with shrewdness and eloquence.

It's finally here! After weeks of dedicated, detailed work and long, long hours, the efforts of all of our very talented company members have come together to create nothing short of a magical final product. Tennessee Rep's The Importance of Being Earnest has officially opened to stellar reviews and raving audiences and those who joined us before the show on opening night were given a little something extra to rave about. Our traditional opening night event, First Night Supper Club, was transformed for The Importance of Being Earnest into First Night Backstage. The set is on the biggest revolve sets Tennessee Rep has ever used and to accommodate it the stage and seating bank orientation of Johnson Theater was flipped 180 degrees from the normal orientation Tennessee Rep uses for our productions. This flip created a bigger more accessible backstage area than we normally have which afforded us the ability to offer a unique opportunity.
