Fans of the classic story will recognize favorite moments with Diana, Gilbert, Matthew and the people of Avonlea, along with the mistaken wine bottle, the cake disaster, Anne’s scholastic achievements and her determination to save Green Gables.

Welcome to STAAR Theatre – Where Community Meets Creativity

For more than two decades, Southern Tennessee Arts Repertory (STAAR) has been at the heart of the Southern Middle Tennessee and North Alabama communities, bringing the magic of the arts to life.

We’re not just a theater. We’re a place where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to celebrate creativity, learn and grow. Whether you’re on stage, in the audience or joining us for one of our many events, you are part of something truly special.

Our intimate 140-seat theater offers a wide range of performances – from captivating dramas and musicals to magical acts and soul-stirring concerts. With every show, STAAR serves as a hub for artistic expression, collaboration and community connection.

We believe the arts can bring us closer, spark imaginations and uplift us all. Our educational programs like dance, voice, drama, songwriting, costuming and improv ensure that everyone, regardless of age, skill level,or background, has the opportunity to be involved, learn and thrive.

At STAAR, we’re not just about creating art. We’re about building a stronger, more connected community. Each performance invites our guests to explore the rich history and vibrant culture of our region, all while supporting local businesses, restaurants and lodging. It’s an experience that enriches both artists and audiences alike.
