Clarksville, TN – Kendall Anne Thompson will forever be known to Roxy fans as “The Green Girl,” a moniker she justifiably won while performing her star turn last season in “Shout: The Mod Musical”.
So, we color-coded her in green again for her farewell performance in “Beehive: The ‘60s Musical Sensation”. When Beehive closes this weekend, she takes with her a piece of our hearts and leaves with a cache of credits — The Sound of Music (Maria), Almost Heaven, The Civil War, Bea(u)tiful in the Extreme (Sacagawea), Doubt (Sister James), Hamlet (Ophelia), A Christmas Carol (Belle/Mary), Tape (Amy), Around the World in 80 Days (Aouda), Dracula (Vampiress) — credits which would be coveted by any actress at the end of a long career, but even more so by someone so young, so talented and so giving an artist. Kendall has thrilled this senior citizen and awakened feelings I had long forgotten, some parental and a few prurient.

Doubt opens at the Roxy Regional Theatre for limited run
March 24, 2011
“Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty. When you are lost, you are not alone.”
Clarksville, TN – The Roxy Regional Theatre has started a very limited run of the drama Doubt. The play has received rave reviews and awards during its main stage run, including multiple Tony Awards, several Drama Desk Awards, the Lucille Lortel Award, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the New York Drama Critics Circle Best Play Award, and the Theater World Award. Miramax released a movie version of the play in 2008 featuring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep.
I went into this having already seen the movie, and can safely say that the Roxy Performance was simply outstanding. I will stack Tom Thayer, Leslie Green, Kendall Anne Thompson, and Adriane Wiley-Hatfield up against Philip Seymour Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Viola Davis any day! The Roxy’s production of DOUBT is directed by John McDonald and features a stellar cast of Roxy veterans.
