Located in FiftyForward Donelson Station, 108 Donelson Pike (between the train tracks and Lebanon Road), the Senior Center for the Arts (SCA) offers a full range of entertainment, learning, exhibition, and performing experiences for both senior adults and the community at large. A 501(c)(3) organization, the SCA is a subsidiary of FiftyForward.

SCA theater performances originate in the center’s auditorium, usually as Nashville Dinner Theatre. Past musicals have included Annie, Spitfire Grill, Dream Girls, Steel Magnolias, Miracle on 34th Street, Hello Dolly, The Wizard of Oz, Mame and Sweeney Todd.

Senior adults appear in all SCA productions. Most performances operate under the Nashville Dinner Theatre program, for which a $25 ticket assures a topnotch dinner and play. Parking is free.

To produce high-quality arts experiences for all ages of the community, dozens of center volunteers are involved in everything from set design and construction to costume design and production; from ticket selling to ushering or serving dinner; and from taking dancing classes to performing as singers, dancers, actors, etc. These older adults are combining lifelong or new skills with long-held aspirations and eagerness to be of use; and they are experiencing positive, tangible results of their efforts

The SCA's programs give Nashville area residents of all ages the thrill of live theater, provide exposure to other artistic experiences and showcase the talents of seniors – all at consistently affordable prices and in a safe and convenient location. The SCA offers learning and performance experiences not otherwise available in the community – including an inexpensive kids' theater "camp" each summer that culminates in a production in which the young actors perform.
