PASSION for EXCELLENCE

From our vantage point, the key to greatness is having a PASSION for EXCELLENCE. Whether it’s making great tires or beautiful symphonic music…at Bridgestone Americas we believe it’s all about the art of performance. We’re building world-class tires in Tennessee and investing in our communities. Working in close harmony with our hometowns is a performance that makes us all proud.

A simple thank you for the past 15 years is an understatement. In one of the most challenging times in our economic history, the Performing Arts Magazines continue to grow and thrive. Is it the loyalty of the arts patron, or better still the creative program offerings by the arts? We believe our success to be a wonderful combination of the two.

First consider the diversity of the upcoming shows, which includes; Mamma Mia!, Nrityagram Dance Ensemble, The Color Purple, Brahms & ‘Big Sur’, Big River Adventures of Huck Finn, Rigoletto, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Christopher Cross and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, just to name a few. Add to the mix the enviable demographic of the arts patron and donor, and you have the most fertile print advertising buy in Nashville.

In a good economy our publications are a great place to advertise. However when the economy slows, we are a pressing necessity. As you read tonight's publication, you will notice that a record number of advertisers have agreed. These companies not only understand the importance the arts play within the diversity of our community, but they also value you as a customer in the new economy we are all adjusting to. So whenever possible, please show your appreciation by patronizing our advertisers.

We thank you again as we celebrate our 15th year as publishers of the Performing Arts Magazines, and as alway we value your input.

Enjoy the show!

20 Are you at risk for a heart attack? One-third of women who had one didn’t think so either.

Heart problems have long been considered a men’s disease. Perhaps that’s why so many women don’t consider themselves at risk for a heart attack. In reality, heart attacks claim more women’s lives than men’s. Of those women, one-third had no prior classic signs of heart trouble, evidence that heart disease is truly a “silent killer.” However, heart disease is preventable if diagnosed and treated early. That’s why we’ve created a Women’s Heart Program offering screenings, treatments, and advice geared specifically to help women. Don’t become a statistic. Find out if you’re at risk.
