CLARKSVILLE, Tenn (CLARKSVILLENOW) – In an effort to protect the health of theater goers as well as staff, the Roxy Regional Theatre will temporarily close, effective March, 17-April, 3.

“This decision has been reached after much consideration, as the Roxy Regional Theatre is a cultural hub for art and entertainment in Clarksville-Montgomery County and Middle Tennessee,” said a release from the Theater. “We previously announced that precautionary measures and delays to productions were put in place for the safety of all concerned, but we feel that the best course of action, at this point, is this temporary closure.”

During this temporary closure, full-time staff will continue to receive full pay, as will the actors and production staff currently under contract.
