Roxy Regional Theatre presents a Musical Journey through the ’30s with the “Kit Kat Club”, August 26th – September 10th

Clarskville's Roxy Regional TheatreClarksville, TN – Despite global panic in the 1930s, people found themselves rallying the only way they knew how — through music.  Famed composer of the period Ira Gershwin once said, “A song without music is a lot like H2 without the O.”

Leading in to Season 34, the Roxy Regional Theatre is presenting a musical journey through the decade, cabaret style, with the new musical revue “Kit Kat Club”, August 26th – September 10th.

Created by Ryan Bowie and Sidney McCarty and directed by Bowie, this new musical revue is being presented as part of the Roxy’s “On The Terrazzo” Series, which features performances in the intimate setting of the theatre’s lobby.

Vocalists Katherine Sandoval Taylor, Reyna Bolton and Emily Rourke, accompanied by Matthew McNeill on piano, will have audiences reminiscing and singing along to such favorites as “Stormy Weather,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered,” “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” “Rhapsody in Blue,” “Moonlight Serenade” and two dozen other songs made popular in the ’30s.

Asheville native Katherine Sandoval Taylor has appeared in oratorio, concert, musical theatre and opera performances throughout the Southeast, while Wisconsin native and current Clarksville resident Reyna Bolton has previously performed with the Nashville Symphony Chorus.

“Kit Kat Club” is made possible in part through the generous support of Hugh & Joy Hatcher.

Performances run August 26th through September 10th on Thursdays at 7:00pm and Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm.

Tickets are $20.00 (including a beverage and light refreshments) and may be reserved online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at 931.645.7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours (9:00am to 2:00pm, Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to curtain).
