PLEASE NOTE: See this page for parking options! ![]() ![]() TNT was previously shuttered amid the pandemic in 2020 and eventually lost its performing space in the Dr. Pepper Complex. After a three-year search, the perfect building was found in the Central City District and coincidentally, less than a mile from TNT's original home on 21st Street South. Executive Director Tam DeBolt took the reins in 2016 when original founder, the late Carl Stewart, retired. As Executive Director, Tam continued the mission of TNT: to present new, and high quality, contemporary programming, and to continue to be a place where others could learn and practice the art of theatre. Terrific New Theatre was founded as a for-profit venture in 1986 by the late Carl W. Stewart and the late Steve Stella in a quaint space on the First Avenue South block of Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard (then 21st Street) in downtown Birmingham. Its first season began with the Stephen Sondheim musical revue “You’re Gonna Love Tomorrow,” and from there TNT launched nearly forty years of new and original works produced with the best of Birmingham’s theater community. In November 1991, TNT moved to Birmingham’s Pepper Place Complex, attained non-profit status, and its first Board of Trustees was created...an all-volunteer group. TNT remained in that location for nearly 30 years, until the pandemic. In September 2024, after 9 months of renovations, TNT officially relocated to its new home. The first show in the new space was Stephen Sondheim's “Sunday in the Park with George.” A purposeful way to make its comeback and honor its founders, TNT reopened the same way it opened in 1986 – with Sondheim. ![]() ![]() |
