New Adaptation of THE WINTER'S TALE Opens At The Roxy Regional Theatre

Clarksville's Roxy Regional Theatre marks its 27th year of presenting the works of William Shakespeare with The Winter's Tale, a story of envy, revenge, love and, ultimately, redemption-one of the Bard's late romances-which opens Friday, March 9, at 8 p.m. for a pay-what-you-can preview.
 
In this tale, edited by Brandon Meeks, the jealous King Leontes of Sicilia nearly topples his own kingdom when he falsely accuses his queen of adultery with his childhood friend, King Polixenes of Bohemia.  In his foolishness and rage, he loses his wife, his son, and his baby daughter. The cycle of life and the power of true love come alive upon the Roxy stage, as a family is reunited, both physically and spiritually, through the power of forgiveness.   

Directed by John McDonald and starring Colin Ryan as Leontes, Evy Gildrie-Voyles as Queen Hermione and Brandon Meeks as Polixenes, The Winter's Tale also features Josh Bernaski as Antigonus, Ryan Bowie as Camillo, Hannah Church as Emilia, Jay Doolittle as the Shepherd, TEd Jones as Autolycus, Travis Kendrick as the Clown, Ashley Laverty as Paulina, Gregory Pember (by permission of Actor's Equity) as Florizel and Kendall Anne Thompson as Perdita.  

The Winter's Tale runs March 9 through March 17, playing Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, March 17.  Tickets are $15 (adults) and $10 (ages 13 and under) and may be purchased online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at (931)645-7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours (9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday).

The performance on Friday, March 9, is the company's regular pay-what-you-can preview, in which all tickets not pre-sold at the regular ticket price will go on sale at 7:30 p.m. for whatever price you wish to pay.
