Nonprofit Professional Theater Group Announces $50,000 Matching Challenge

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (November 14, 2025) – Studio Tenn’s “Pink Goes Good with Green” cabaret fundraiser brought Broadway magic to Franklin with powerhouse performances by “Wicked” alums Carrie St. Louis (Glinda) and Teal Wicks (Elphaba). The sold-out event, held November 8 at Turner Theater inside The Factory at Franklin, raised $20,727 and counting in support of the nonprofit professional theater group’s artistic and educational programming.

A generous Studio Tenn Board Member has pledged to match all donations up to $50,000, giving supporters the opportunity to double the impact of their contributions.

Guests enjoyed show-stopping performances and behind-the-scenes stories from the Broadway duo, all in celebration of the artistry and collaboration that make Studio Tenn a cornerstone of the local arts community.

“‘Pink Goes Good with Green’ was such a powerful reminder of what can happen when our community rallies behind the arts,” said Rachel Jones, Studio Tenn’s Director of Development. “Every dollar raised — and now, every dollar matched — helps us bring exceptional stories to the stage and create meaningful opportunities for the next generation of performers and theater lovers.”
