CLARKSVILLE, TN – After a delayed start due to the ongoing pandemic, the spring session of the Roxy Regional School of the Arts will finally be underway next week.

A few slots still remain for those budding young performers and adults interested in honing their craft or discovering a new passion, but time is running out. Registration ends this Saturday, February 27.

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. While in the past the program has only been offered to youth, last fall the School of the Arts was expanded to also serve adults 18 years of age and older.

The Spring 2021 session runs from March 1 through May 22. Classes meet once per week for one hour. Evening and weekend class times are being offered to provide greater flexibility around school and work schedules.

  • Classes covering a variety of topics and areas of interest will be led by Roxy Regional Theatre staff and professional company members:
  • Acting Fundamentals (ages 8 to 12) with David Graham
  • Acting for Young Adults (ages 13+ / ages 15+) with Matthew Combs
  • Let’s Make Some Noise (ages 13+) with Kenneth L. Waters, Jr.
  • Improvisation (ages 9 to 18) with David Graham
  • From the Page to the Stage (ages 13+) with Ryan Bowie

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a number of safety measures are in place this year, including extra cleaning between classes and limiting class sizes to no more than fifteen students to allow for proper social distancing. Facial coverings to mask the nose and mouth are also required for staff and students, and sanitizing stations are located throughout the building.

Tuition starts at $100/month per class, with discounts available for multiple class registrations.
