Roxy Regional Theatre Closes Temporarily Through April 3

Roxy Regional Theatre will be closing temporarily through April 3.

The following statement has been released:

The Roxy Regional Theatre is committed to the safety of our patrons, staff and our community, which has led us to make a series of decisions concerning the COVID-19 outbreak. With the situation growing here in the United States and our own community, and while trying to be preemptive with what has occurred overseas, the Roxy Regional Theatre has made the difficult decision to temporarily cease operations, effective today, Tuesday, March 17, 2020, through Friday, April 3, 2020.

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. 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.

This is a voluntary closure through Friday, April 3, 2020. We do this to prioritize the overall health and safety of our patrons, staff and the community as a whole. This is the best way that we here at the Roxy Regional Theatre can pledge our commitment to flattening the curve of this outbreak.

During this temporary closure, the full-time staff of the Roxy Regional Theatre will continue to receive full pay, as will the actors and production staff currently under contract. With this said, we invite you to consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Roxy Regional Theatre as we navigate through this challenging time.

Our production of Fahrenheit 451 has been postponed to a later date. We have not concretely decided on those dates, but this production will continue in Season 37.

All patrons who have already reserved their seats for the current dates of Fahrenheit 451 will be automatically refunded through our ticketing agent, Vendini. A confirmation of refund will be sent to each patron individually. We will update you on the new dates for this production and encourage you to re-book our tickets at that point.
