Cumberland County Playhouse

Cumberland County Playhouse: Where Rural Tennessee Meets Broadway Magic! Nestled in the heart of downtown Crossville at 221 Tennessee Avenue, the Cumberland County Playhouse stands as a powerhouse of performing arts—and a proud local treasure since 1965. Celebrated as one of rural America’s top professional theaters and the only rural nonprofit major cultural institution in Tennessee, this dynamic venue draws over 100,000 visitors each year to enjoy nearly 500 performances and 1,600 arts classes across its two indoor stages and two open-air venues. From heartfelt musicals and plays to youth-oriented shows, dance performances, concerts, and educational programs, the Playhouse delivers creativity, community, and craftsmanship—plus heart—on every stage. With family roots at the helm and a legacy built on community passion, it’s where artistic dreams become reality on the Cumberland Plateau.
