Clarksville, TN – Calling all budding young performers and adults interested in honing their craft or discovering a new passion! Registration is now open for the Fall 2021 session of the Roxy Regional Theatre’s School of the Arts.
Since 1995, the Roxy Regional Theatre has been introducing youth to the experience of live theatre and expanding their knowledge of the craft through the School of the Arts.
The School of the Arts continues to operate with smaller, more focused classes due to the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic and a more specialized approach to education.
