We’re excited to share that Michael Aldrich, a former performing arts reporter for The Tennessean, is joining TPAC’s News Center team as an arts writer.
The addition of an in-house arts writer to cover the variety of shows presented by the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, the impact of TPAC education and outreach programs, and the work of other arts organizations in Middle Tennessee is an important advancement for TPAC’s nonprofit mission.
Only one other performing arts center in the country is known to have hired a dedicated position for arts writing. We are excited to Michael to our team, and we look forward to creating high-quality content that supports our dynamic performing arts community.
Michael is a recent graduate of Middle Tennessee State University where he studied Public Relations and Marketing and contributed to the school’s paper, Sidelines. He has worked as an intern and performing arts reporter at The Tennessean, and he has experience writing features on TPAC programming and that of other major arts organizations.
He also spent time as a contributing writer for MemoryWell where he interviewed Alzheimer’s patients and family members to document their lives for family keepsakes. In 2012, he served in the AmeriCorps in Texas where he helped to provide summer literacy and other enrichment programming for children in low-income neighborhoods. Plus, he is a songwriter and musician with a deep appreciation of the arts.

It means you’ll be unable to see the entire stage from those seats.
We sell these seats because for many fans the limited view is not a problem, and the tickets are clearly labeled at time of purchase (see photo below). Limited view seating varies event to event and could be something as small as a tiny corner of the stage being blocked from view. Call our box office at 615-782-4040 for additional information on limited view seating.
Seats marked with “Limited View” during purchase path
Many shows impose ticket limits to allow as many people as possible to have equal access to seats. This is done as a deterrent to third party vendors, i.e. scalpers, who may purchase large blocks of seats and then resell them online at an inflated cost. The term “household” refers to any shared information on one or more accounts. This includes, but may not be limited to matching names, mailing and billing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and credit card numbers. Any households that purchase more than the allowed number of tickets may have their order(s) refunded without notice.
