Mission & Impact Statements Mission The Roxy Regional Theatre attracts, motivates, entertains and challenges audiences with theatrical productions ranging from the classics to new works. Furthermore, it trains and supports the next generation of theatre artists; provides educational programming, and promotes a wide range of learning to a diverse community. The Roxy Regional Theatre celebrates the importance and the impact theatre has on the citizens of Clarksville- Montgomery County and Middle Tennessee. Background From our founding in 1983, Roxy Productions, Inc., has been dedicated to producing theatre meeting the highest artistic standards, first as a community theatre and then as a professional regional theatre, presenting over 500 mainstage productions in our 153-seat auditorium and 75 alternative stage productions in our 50-seat black box theatre, theotherspace, since the organization's inception. Clarksville's oldest and only professional live theatre, housed in a converted 1947 movie house, the Roxy Regional Theatre has achieved a national reputation over the past three decades by producing world and American premieres in addition to classics, Shakespeare, dramas and musicals.since 1985, we have been enriching, enlivening and enlightening students through reduced-rate weekday matinees of productions designed to complement the curricula of K-12 schools, giving area students the opportunity to see their favorite literary characters come to life upon the stage.in addition to our live theatre programming, the Roxy introduces hundreds of youth to the art of performance through our School of the Arts acting program on Saturday mornings during the school year and our Parks & Rec Summer Playhouse during the summer months.in the fall of 2016, the Roxy Regional Theatre welcomed the return of film to the location for the first time in over three decades during our weekly Sunday afternoon film series, and we also began offering outside performers and users the opportunity to rent and use the space for everything from birthday parties and weddings to conferences and outside performances.in tandem with our performing arts offerings, the visual arts are showcased in our Peg Harvill Art Gallery, which gives voice to numerous local artists in twelve shows annually. As the artwork changes for each production, the audience and other visitors are exposed to a variety of artistic styles, as well as artwork created specifically to accompany a production. 2

The Spring 2019 session is focused on a full musical production of Disney's Alice in Wonderland, Jr., which students will present on the mainstage during May/June 2019, and the Fall 2019 session will culminate in a free showcase for family and friends on the final day.during the summer months, this acting program is extended through a cooperative venture with the Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department, a sixweek summer drama workshop for ages 9 to 18.
