Testimonials

Our community’s voices are our greatest endorsement. Hear from those who’ve experienced the magic and impact of our programs firsthand.

My 7 th grade son has participated in Center programs since he was in kindergarten – starting in the mini classes. He is currently in the production class of Descendants as Ben and has previously been in other production classes/summer camps at the Center including Finding Nemo Jr and Willy Wonka Jr. He also started voice lessons this fall, which are helping him to really focus on his vocal abilities.

I believe people should care about the Center for the Arts because overall, they only want to provide a beautiful place of art for the community of Murfreesboro. For decades, the Center for the Arts has been a theatre cornerstone for multiple performers and artists that have lived in the area. It’s a place to learn and grow in theatre, and they’re now trying to expand their horizons with more art galleries, classes, and collaborative experiences.

My husband and I were very impressed with last night's performance of Beauty and the Beast. It was our first show at Center for the Arts and we are thrilled to have such a quality community theater to enjoy! The casting was excellent and the performance was far better than I had expected. What a treat!! We will definitely add CFTA as a regular part of date night entertainment! Thank you to all who work so hard to present such wonderful productions!!
