A huge new entertainment production complex, WORLDWIDE STAGES LLC (WWS), has opened about 35 miles outside of NASHVILLE in SPRING HILL, TN. The complex includes state-of-the-art facilities for tour rehearsals and production of livestreaming events, music videos, commercials, television series and films.

The site is the former headquarters of car manufacturer SATURN, which WWS principals overhauled with a multimillion-dollar renovation. The campus includes thousands of square feet of production facilities, green rooms and an artist suite. It also features a variety of stages for tour rehearsals, TV and film production, a 70-seat theater with state-of-the-art audio equipment for screening dailies and hosting private performances, plus gathering spaces, acres of parking, and an onsite medic and security personnel.

"We wanted to create not just a functional production environment, but also a safe-haven for A-list entertainers," said WWS Pres./CEO KELLY FREY. "We even designed a speakeasy around a vintage 1920s-era solid wood bar that our guests can use for meetings, events, or relaxation onsite. Forget about the warehouses and industrial soundstages of the past. WWS is much more like a five-star hotel venue that happens to have the soundstages and ancillary production space A-list performers and international production companies need to produce their entertainment content securely and in comfort."

"The opening of WWS signals TENNESSEE's trending growth and competitiveness in the entertainment sector on both a local and national level," said BOB RAINES, Executive Director for the TENNESSEE ENTERTAINMENT COMMISSION. "WWS will not only leverage TENNESSEE's internationally renowned music industry, but also service the influx of television and motion picture professionals interested in producing the next generation of entertainment content."  

Further expansion of the facility is already being planned, including additional soundstages.
