A seat plaque in the Ensworth High School Performance Theater is a thoughtful and enduring way to honor your Ensworth student, a favorite teacher, alum or other loved one, or to simply make a public statement about your love of the arts. Named seats also provide an opportunity to commemorate a graduation or to memorialize someone who loved Ensworth. 

The new performance theater at Ensworth High School’s Devon Farm Campus has been developed as a gathering place for the school community, an instructional and performance venue for the Ensworth campus, and a state-of-the-art resource for the Nashville area. The space is large enough to accommodate parents and friends attending student plays, provides an acoustically designed concert hall for music and dance productions, and is a place that can accommodate the entire student body for assemblies and other gatherings. The lobby area serves as an art gallery for exhibition of student work and art shows.

“The Ensworth High School Performing Arts Center is no ordinary auditorium. It is a state-of-the-art performance arts center that will support the future growth of the school in numerous ways. Our Performing Arts Center will be an elegant space—the glue that binds our community together in the search for truth through the arts.”
