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.

The Dream Factory is a non-profit organization dedicated to granting the wishes of children who live with chronic illnesses and/or disorders. The Dream Factory began with an all-volunteer chapter in Hopkinsville, KY, and since has grown to over 37 chapters across the country.
The Dream Factory’s mission statement encapsulates their passion – “We grant dreams to critically and chronically ill children from the ages of three through eighteen”.
Maintained by dedicated volunteers and hard-working individuals, this organization aims to raise funds in order to grant the dreams of children within their local chapter communities. By maintaining the organization through an all-volunteer basis, 96.1% of all money raised is used to grant wishes. This has allowed the charity to be recognized by Charity Navigator, the largest evaluator of charities, as a 4-star rated charity for eight consecutive years. The Clarksville chapter hosts several events throughout the year to raise money for their organization. In 2019, they were recognized as one of the charities in The Best of Clarksville campaign.
It takes a team full of dedicated individuals, careful planning, and a generous giving of funds to help grant a single wish. Granting over 200 wishes since the chapter began, The Dream Factory: Clarksville has made a significant impact on the lives of our community members. Some of the past wishes they have granted include trips to Disneyland, Disney World and Universal Studios, meeting famous individuals such as Dale Earnhardt, installing adapted swing sets and bikes, and even a special graduation guest from movie star Bill Murray.
You can support The Dream Factory: Clarksville in many different ways by volunteering, supporting financially, or becoming involved in community events. Visit their website for more information on how you can make dreams come true!

Lillie Millan, co-owner of Millan Enterprises, has been at Leo’s side since the company’s inception in 1999. She got her start in Clarksville in 1995 after leaving her hometown of Orange County, California to follow her husband here to Fort Campbell.

Her attention to detail was crucial for her time heading the accounting department. As the team grew, so did her interest in interior design.
