I had the pleasure of knowing Greg Greene and Wes driver when. We sat in my office talking about writing new plays, how to get them produced, and the hills we all must climb. The advice at the time was simple: Start climbing. Take control of your own theatrical destiny. It wasn’t long after that Blackbird Theater was born on the campus of Lipscomb University, a unique collaboration between talented, hungry artists and the undaunted student spirit.
Lipscomb’s Department of Theatre is led by its chair, Mike Fernandez. “Blackbird Theater is producing some of the finest theatre in Nashville, and Lipscomb University is proud to have them as our Artists in Residence. I firmly believe we have a special relationship, one that allows Blackbird to do quality work that challenges the Nashville artistic community while giving our students the invaluable opportunity to work with some of the best professional artists around.”
