Since TNT's early years, we have always recognized that support of the arts - from our patrons and our community - is critical for the survival of ALL theater in our city. TNT has many special people, businesses, and organizations that are providing the financial jolt we need to keep TNT, and our mission, a reality. We are adding to our list of supporters every day!!
LOUISE and JOHN BEARD stepped up to be the lead donors in our Relocate-Renovate-Reopen effort. Without their generosity, it's possible TNT would still be looking for the perfect home. Because of The Beards' belief in the power of the arts and their love of TNT, we are poised to reenter the theater scene in Birmingham in less than a year. As we like to say around here, "It's Happening!!"
