Opening in 1928, the Tennessee Theatre has entertained millions of people with presentations of film and live performances. The 1600-seat theatre has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1982, and it is a unique architectural and cultural treasure. Since 1996, the Historic Tennessee Theatre Foundation (HTTF), a nonprofit organization, has been entrusted with preserving and maintaining this unique facility and ensuring that it will continue to thrive well into the 21st century. Marketing plays a large role in creating awareness for the organization, as well as raising funds to maintain the impressive and ornate theatre.

Join us to hear from Executive Director Becky Hancock, from the Historic Tennessee Theatre Foundation, to learn about the history and restoration of one of Knoxville’s most iconic buildings. Also presenting will be Communications and Development Manager Lila Honaker, who will detail recent marketing strategies and tactics for the theatre and foundation.
