Spend an enjoyable afternoon with Happily Ever After at the Roxy Regional Theatre
January 19, 2012
Clarksville, TN- It was a more excited crowd than usual waiting in the lobby of the Roxy Regional Theatre when I arrived to attend the opening show for their production of Happily Ever After, a play which is based off of the tales of the Brothers Grimm and directed by John McDonald. Young girls and boys along with their parents were on hand to enjoy what was to be a fun and unique show.
One of the things that makes this show unique is in most plays the program follows a fixed set of scenes always in the same exact order; but in Happily Ever After the children set the course of the show.

“Magic at the Museum” has great year for charity
January 7, 2012
Clarksville, TN – “Magic at the Museum” had a wonderful first year at the Custom’s House Museum in 2011. Produced by Bonehead Promotions, and presented by Better Homes and Garden Real Estate, the quarterly events were used to showcase the museum, and to raise money for local charity. The first year generated $4,000 dollars for local charities.
Maurice and Terry Vaughn, of Better Homes and Garden Real Estate bought into the new idea right away. “We were looking to launch our new company, and thought this would be a unique way of advertising our company, and giving back to Clarksville.” according to Maurice Vaughn.

Christmas Memories
December 16, 2011
Clarksville, TN – The Roxy Regional Theatre’s annual production of A Christmas Carol is in full swing after three very successful weekends. With the holidays being such an important time to us all, and our actors having to give up some of these holiday traditions to be apart of this cast, I thought it would be good for us all to reflect on what makes Christmas special to us.
So, last week, I asked the cast of A Christmas Carol, “What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory?” Here are some of the responses.

Hurry up! Catch one of the last few showings of Dicken’s A Christmas Carol at the Roxy Regional Theatre
December 15, 2011
Clarksville, TN – This week the Roxy Regional Theatre will be staging the last few runs of their production of the Charles Dickens classic tale, A Christmas Carol. There are a few things that tell me Christmas is coming each year; the lighting of Christmas on the Cumberland, Downtown for the Holidays and the Christmas parade, and the Roxy’s wonderful annual rendition of this timeless Christmas story. This week is your last chance to catch this heartwarming show.
The play features John McDonald as Ebenezer Scrooge, and follows him as he meets the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future while rediscovering the true meaning of the Christmas season. McDonald is backed up by a stellar cast that includes: Ryan Bowie, Brianna Hertzberg, Travis Kendrick, Alan Lee, Brandon Meeks, Leah Sugerman and Joylene Taylor. These are some of the best professional actors the Roxy has ever played host to.
