The Franklin Theatre

Great venue! This is a beautiful and historic theater, and the staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful. Because the theater is relatively small, there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

They have some basic snacks and drinks, including a good selection of beer and wine.

We try to make a point of keeping track of what shows and movies are coming to the Franklin Theatre, as it is always great to have an excuse to visit this great theater!

Still one of my favorite places to catch a musical act. They also show Holiday movies around Christmas and other films throughout the year. A true asset to the community.

I really enjoyed my visit to this cool little theater. I live several hours away, so it's unlikely I will get to return very often, but it's got a great ambience. Staff were also friendly and helpful.

Located in downtown Franklin, this historic theater is a gem!

They welcome amazing artists year round, and seating is hard to beat. Not a bad seat in the house, and love the cabaret option up front.

Tickets are generally very reasonable, unless it's a super well known person, parking is a breeze with free garages nearby, and staff is the kindest you can find.

It's a theater, so not menu style food, but they offer some snacks like popcorn.

I really just adore this venue - can't wait for my next show here!

A charming and fun experience that's super convenient for folks in, and around, Franklin.
Compared to other venues, even the balcony affords a greater view and an intimate experience.
There is an array of dining options nearby for the pre-event repast.
Parking at the public deck by the county courthouse on 4th St is free and a three-minute walk away.
What more could you need for a fun evening out?

I came here for a meeting with the Visit Franklin people and the Downtown Franklin Association. The meeting was great, but it was hard to focus because of how beautiful this theater looks.

It's over 80-years old and was renovated 10-years ago? I love the retro look of the lobby and all of the pictures on walls highlighting the venues history. They have officially opened the theatre back up for live concerts and will be starting their holiday movie nights once the season starts.

When in Franklin, you must visit the theatre!

Loved seeing a comedy show here. My only complaint was there was only one person working the bar side. There was quite a long wait. Oh, and the bartender added water to our old fashioneds (I don't know why). But loved the venue and the experience.

The Franklin Theatre opened in 1937 and closed in 2007. Thankfully theFranklin and Williamson County Heritage Foundation raised eight million dollars to preserve and reopen the beautiful Franklin theatre.

The 2021 calendar is filled with live performances of all kinds. (Music, movies, live theatre, dance and more) Tickets are available on their website along with an opportunity to donate for a great cause.

I love this very professional theater! I have never attended anything here that has not been great!!

The talent should be on broadway!!

We visited for the awesome show of Lee Roy Parnell and Friends - including the beautiful Ms. Lisa Stewart and the incredible guitarists Seth James and Anson Funderburgh. These guys put on a helluva show.

Lots of historic charm as Franklin theater was originally built in the 1930's, fell into disrepair in the 00's and eventually went through a big-budget renovation and restoration.

Incredible sound and lighting system, comfortable seats and an overall great feel to the place. Loved the easy bar and concessions service.

A great place to see a live show.
