The Roxy Regional Theatre recognizes the Civil War Sesquicentennial with the Civil War Musical
April 27, 2011
Clarksville, TN – In recognition of the Civil War Sesquicentennial, the Roxy Regional Theatre is currently staging a production of the Frank Wildhorn and Gregory Boyd musical, The Civil War. This has to be one of the best of the many shows I have seen at the Roxy Regional Theatre.
Drawing on letters, diaries, firsthand accounts, and the words of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Walt Whitman, the musical covers the enormous emotional landscape of the most difficult test our nation has ever endured. The Civil War musical puts a human face on the greatest tragedy of American history and passionately asks us to consider our beliefs about freedom, honor and faith.

Clarksville, TN – The second day of the Rivers and Spires Festival opened on Friday to good weather in spite of rains earlier in the day.
Sadly, the good weather only lasted for half an hour when the first of three lines of rain showers moved through the area. To escape the rain, crowds huddled under whatever dry spaces were available including under the awnings at First Baptist Church, and various business entrances along the streets, and the Roxy Regional Theatre on Franklin Street.
