About Pull-Tight Theater
In 1968, a 15-year-old Battle Ground Academy student by the name of Vance Ormes gathered several of his parents’ friends and formed the Pull-Tight Players in Historic Downtown Franklin, with a debut production of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town.
Over the years, the Pull-Tight Players garnered a reputation for excellence in community theatre. The organization staged performances in locations as varied as an old jailhouse on Bridge Street, a Holiday Inn, two schools, a Main Street loft, and even an outdoor space at Carter’s Court. Our current location on Second Avenue has been our home since 1985. As befits Pull-Tight’s own colorful history, this charming historic building has served as host over the years to its own litany of tenants, from a church and a grocery store to a restaurant and antique shop, before becoming home to Pull-Tight’s special brand of entertainment.
Pull-Tight celebrates over 50 years of providing quality theatre and arts programs to Williamson County and greater Nashville. We do this through six mainstage shows per season, as well as our Youth Actors Guild and Junior Youth Actors Guild programs. We are proud to be a vital part of this community, offering quality entertainment that uplifts, provokes thought, and brings joy to our audiences.

John McEuen & The Circle Band present "Will The Circle Be Unbroken"
2023-06-18 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
John McEuen brings with him 50+ years of worldwide performing with his banjo, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin. Often referred to as ‘the String Wizard’, he weaves stories of his travels and family life (he has raised 7 kids), taking us through where his musical path has taken him.
A Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founding member in 1966, John initiated the 1972 classic Will the Circle Be Unbroken album, (inducted in to the Library of Congress as ‘one of America’s most important recordings). Proud of being an integral part of America’s first band to go to Russia (28 sold 0ut shows in 1977!), John’s love of performing has been evident since his teenage Magic Shop days in Disneyland. McEuen’s show takes us ‘behind the curtain’ of the music world that so many of us know of only as listeners and shows us how we have all been a part of it, more than we may know.
McEuen’s Sirius/XM show, Acoustic Traveller, is in its 10th year; his Americana Music Show is on Syndicatednews.net (of which he is CEO). He has earned Emmy nominations, Grammy Awards, CMA acclaim, The Western Heritage Award – other accolades are on his website: www.johnmceuen.com.
Honored with the 2010 Best of the West Performer award from the Folk Alliance organization, John’s show is sure to be one enjoyed by all. He also won Best Bluegrass Album Grammy that year for his production of The Crow – Steve Martin). In June of 2013 he was honored with the Charlie Poole Lifetime Achievement Award.
With music from 1800’s to now, original songs laced with known hits, (his current Made in Brooklyn album earned the Independent Music Award’s recognition as Best Americana album!), and a special tribute to the ‘Circle’ album music and its stories, it all comes to life in an evening of acoustic music in overdrive.

Free popsicles and snacks will be on hand for the kids, and traditional “Strawberry Soda”, which symbolizes the bloodshed of the enslaved and pays homage to their sacrifice, will be served. Museum tours will be offered at 12pm and 1pm for the opportunity to learn more about the life and legacy of Harvey McLemore and the rich African American history embedded in the soil of Franklin, Tennessee.
The celebration will end in Downtown Franklin with a special gathering at 5:00 PM in front of Avec Moi, a gift shop located at 418 Main Street, where a plaque commemorating A.N.C. Williams, a prominent African American merchant and community leader, will be unveiled. Upon his emancipation from slavery in 1863, A.N.C. Williams opened a shoe repair store on the square, the first black-owned business in Franklin, Tennessee. He later purchased real estate directly on Main Street, owning and operating a general merchandise store for over 60 years. A.N.C.

An Evening with The Secret Sisters
2023-06-23 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
An Evening with The Secret Sisters at The Franklin Theatre
The Secret Sisters—Laura and Lydia Rogers—grapple with love and loss on new album Saturn Return.
Saturn Return is the Alabama-based duo’s second release for New West Records. Like its predecessor, 2017’s Grammy-nominated You Don’t Own Me Anymore, the record was produced by Brandi Carlile and Phil and Tim Hanseroth.
The elements that made listeners fall in love with the band’s 2010 self-titled debut album—sweet, strong voices, carefully crafted musical arrangements, and soul-baring songwriting—are still present, but there’s also newfound confidence and individuality.
The album is named after an astrological occurrence in which the planet Saturn returns to the same place in the sky that it occupied at the moment of a person’s birth. During this phase, which happens approximately every 29 ½ years, said Laura, a woman “comes into her own and has this awakening in herself about who she is as a person. It can also be a very traumatic time where your whole world just seems to radically shift.”
“When this is happening, you begin to feel the pressure of time and awareness of your own mortality,” Lydia added. “It brings the important aspects of life into sharper clarity and it centers your mind on what’s really important.”
Recorded in Carlile’s home studio in Washington state, Saturn Return heralds the arrival of a new era of The Secret Sisters, who both experienced their first Saturn returns while making the record. Carlile challenged the sisters to sing as individuals instead of relying solely on close harmony singing, and for the first time, Laura and Lydia performed separately in the studio. This is also the first album in which The Secret Sisters composed all the songs without any co-writers.
Death and life entwine like newlyweds’ fingers throughout Saturn Return. Shortly after the sisters began writing for this album, both of their grandmothers passed away within a week of one other. At the same time, the sisters were preparing to start families of their own.
The record begins with “Silver,” a prescient meditation on motherhood and the beauty found in the hard-won wisdom that comes with age, and the sisters share one another’s sorrow in closing track “Healer in the Sky,” an understated ballad—written by Lydia and sung by Laura—that builds into a moment of catharsis.
First single “Cabin,” written from the perspective of a woman who has been assaulted, haunts listeners long after the song’s final notes fade away. The song—a battle cry for the mistreated and mishandled—was written while Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings dominated the media. “He did not have permission / But he had his way / If I tell his secret, they won’t believe me anyway,” the duo sings over wailing guitar.
During The Secret Sisters’ live performances, “Cabin” has become a battle cry for those who have been mistreated or struggle with the long-lasting impact of trauma. Said Laura, “This song was our way of saying, ‘We hear you, and we know it hurts…we know you’re not over it and that’s okay.’”
Grief never fully disappears, and the joy found in its wake is sweeter because of it. After recording Saturn Return, both Lydia and Laura welcomed their first children. “Hold You Dear,” a tender ballad laced with piano and strings, was written in fifteen minutes by a thrilled and terrified Laura the day she learned she was pregnant. Infectious “Hand Over My Heart” captures the freewheeling thrill of finding true love, while “Late Bloomer,” written by Lydia, is an anthem celebrating those who, like The Secret Sisters, ignore trends and flourish their own way, at their own time.
With Saturn Return, The Secret Sisters have truly come into their own as artists, songwriters, and singers. “I’ve come to feel like this is what we were meant to do,” said Lydia. “That’s a really good feeling.”

Bliss Bliss at Mockingbird
2023-07-13 19:00 | The Mockingbird Theater at The Factory at Franklin, 230 Franklin Road, Bldg 6, Franklin, TN, 37064, United States
“Sometimes music becomes cinema. Some people call this synesthesia when colors are heard and sounds become light and hue. That is the sound track of BlissBliss. These guys are on the money when it comes to tracking their inner world but have this joie de vivre that redeems the sadness, heals the wound, and offers it all up with gratitude.”
David Bunker-Consultant-Storyville Collective/Former Head of A&R, REX Records
Lang & Renee are veterans of the music industry as signed label artists, as well as having toured and performed as background vocalists and musicians for and with artists like Amy Grant, Michael W Smith, Michael McDonald, and Alex Harvey. As BlissBliss, they’ve created their own brand of Sophistipop/Yacht Rock, pulling from influences like Steely Dan, John Mayer, and Sting but creating a sound unlike any of them.
Their songs have charted on CHR radio, (Fight For Peace-#1) and the Billboard Dance charts as well, through numerous dance remixes of their songs done by world renowned DJs/Producers such as Dave Aude, Hex Hector, and Bimbo Jones.
“BlissBliss’s dedication to the legacy of sophisti-pop is sure to resonate with fans of the genre, but BlissBliss is no mere revivalist act. Lang and Renee have forged a unique and polished sound with an attention to detail and a level of musicianship often missing in modern popular music.” JakeJenkins/InSync Magazine
