Shows in Memphis

Cannon Center for the Performing Arts is Memphis's most versatile mid-size performing arts venue — a 2,100-seat hall hosting the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, Broadway touring productions, and major concerts in downtown Memphis's entertainment core. Its role as the primary venue for Memphis's most formal performing arts programming complements the more popular music focus of Beale Street and FedExForum.

Orpheum Theatre is Memphis's magnificent 1928 movie palace and premier performing arts venue — a 2,400-seat venue with an extraordinary Beaux Arts interior presenting Broadway touring productions and major concerts for Memphis and the mid-South. The Orpheum's role as both Memphis's primary Broadway house and as a historic preservation triumph reflects the city's commitment to maintaining its architectural heritage alongside its contemporary entertainment aspirations.

Tennessee Shakespeare Company produces professional Shakespeare and classical theater in Memphis — providing the cultural programming that complements Memphis's dominant musical heritage with high-quality theatrical entertainment. The company's productions serve Memphis's educational and cultural community alongside the city's more commercially oriented music and entertainment economy.
