Non-Profit Highlight: Roxy Regional Theatre

The Roxy Regional Theatre, renowned for its entertainment and educational opportunities, was once a movie theatre during the 1900s.  What makes the Roxy Regional Theatre into what it is today? 

Early History

Originally called The Lillian during the early 1900s, it was the first movie theatre in Clarksville, TN, and it was the hub for local entertainment. In 1915, the Lillian was rebuilt after a fire and entertained patrons with silent pictures. During the Great Depression, the Lillian went “dark;” and then with the arrival of Fort Campbell, the Lillian was renamed the Roxy.

After another fire destroyed the venue in 1945, the Roxy was completely rebuilt. For nearly 40 years, The Roxy entertained Clarksvillians with first-run movies through the 1980s. Then, after sitting vacant for three years, Tom Thayer and John McDonald revitalized the historic theater, re-opening it on November 3, 1983, as a live stage performance theatre.

What is the Roxy Regional Theatre?

The Roxy Regional Theatre provides entertainment to the Clarksville community through live theatre performances. In 1995, a professional company was created due to the demand for Shakespeare, other classics, school curriculum-based productions, and holiday shows. The Roxy Regional School of the Arts was also established in 1995. The school offers teens extensive training in modern theatre, and provides them with an opportunity to work directly with professionals in the industry.

This tragic event brought detriment to our community, but with that also came unity and strength, thanks to organizations like Manna Cafe who rushed to aid with disaster relief through food distribution. Having grown astronomically, Manna Cafe is now able to distribute 1.8 million pounds of food in one year to local Clarksvillian families.
