The Outsider
2024-10-16 19:30 - 2024-10-19 19:30 | Pull-Tight Players Theatre, 112 2nd Avenue South, Franklin, TN, 37064, United States
The Outsider – Pull-Tight Players Theatre
Ned Newley is an unassuming, earnest, and honorable man who finds himself thrust in the Governor’s seat in the wake of a recent political scandal. His moral standards – and his deathly fear of public speaking – make it likely that he won’t stay in office long. Luckily, he has a savvy political team intent on lending their talents … for better or worse. The Outsider is a timely and hilarious satire of modern American politics that both roasts the political machine and celebrates democracy.

Vision City Conference 2024: How History Impacts the Future
2024-10-15 10:00 - 2024-10-17 16:30 | THE FACTORY AT FRANKLIN, 230 Franklin Road, Franklin, TN, 37064, United States
Vision City Conference Presented by Franklin Tomorrow and SEASIDE Institute
“For many years, Franklin Tomorrow has wanted to host a “Vision City Conference” in Franklin in place of visiting another city and 2024 is that year, in partnership with SEASIDE Institute™, which first came to Franklin in 2004 (and again in 2005).
In the past, Franklin Tomorrow has visited the following cities, including Carmel, Ind.; Greenville, S.C.; Mt. Pleasant, S.C.; Alpharetta, Ga.; Serenbe, Ga.; and last year, Huntsville, Ala.
Often when we begin to make connections with these communities experiencing rapid growth while maintaining a strong financial base, they say, “You are calling from Franklin, Tenn.? That’s a visionary city.” Over the last several years, many communities from across the country have visited Franklin to see our planning & development process, parks and understand the culture.
In 2004 SEASIDE Institute™ worked with the City of Franklin and other organizations to offer a multi-day workshop of case studies and critiques of traditional neighborhood developments, with Southern Land and Westhaven being presented as a case study alongside developments from other parts of the country.
The 2024 Vision City Conference dates are Oct. 15-17 and the program will feature a collaboration between Franklin Tomorrow and SEASIDE Institute™, which as a nonprofit organization itself promotes community building through design, education and the arts. The three tenets of SEASIDE Institute™ are Sustainability, Connectivity, and Adaptability, beliefs which we think resonate with residents in Franklin and Middle Tennessee.
The theme will be a focus on “How History Impacts the Future.” The conference is being planned with a downtown Franklin campus approach for walkability, utilizing The Harpeth Hotel as well as The Franklin Theatre and The Factory at Franklin as meeting sites. Out-of-town attendees are being encouraged to stay at The Harpeth Hotel or the Spring Hill Suites at McEwen.”
