The Backstage BASH will once again be held at The Center for the Arts, with the main event taking place tented outdoor on College Street.

The 2023 Backstage BASH Chairs are Jimmy and Nikkole Aho and Kirk and Carrie Beth Catron. Committee members include Matt Ledbetter, Matthew Stump, Becca George, Angela Howard, Brad Hopkins, Julie King, Kayla Dodd, Eric Parks, Beth Boudreaux, Kristen Swann, Denise & Scott Kimberly.

“As our organization grows to enhance programs for the Rutherford County community, we need and want our community to be a part of this exclusive event to raise funds for The Center for the Arts. Sponsorship support is invaluable as we make plans to grow the Center and learn how we can effectively serve all our patrons and community,” shares Executive Director Regina Ward.

Funds that are raised at the Backstage BASH allow The Center for the Arts to secure rights to produce high-quality shows, hire top-notch directors, teachers, crew, and musicians, as well as continue educating the youth of our community through our Center Stage Academy program (90 financial scholarships were awarded to youth in 2022). The Backstage BASH also helps maintain (and improve) their historic 112-year-old building that so many call home.
