November 3, 2009 |

Blanche DuBois brings her Southern charm to historic downtown Clarksville.

CLARKSVILLE, TN – Feel the air sizzle with tension as sparks fly. A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE opens at the Roxy Regional Theatre Friday, November 6^th.

Blanche DuBois arrives by streetcar at the home of her sister Stella. Claiming to have taken time off from her job as a teacher, Blanche settles in, oblivious to the strain her presence will cause Stella and her husband, Stanley. Stanley Kowalski, an alpha-male in every way, is a force to be reckoned with.  As Blanche’s stories of her genteel Southern lifestyle begin to dissolve beneath Stanley’s brutal scrutiny, she attempts to elevate herself through greater self-deception. «Read the rest of this article»

First Thursday ArtWalk – November 5th

November 1, 2009 |

You’re invited to join the merchants of Historic Downtown Clarksville for The monthly Art Walk, on November 5th from 5 – 8 p.m. Kendall Welsh from ARTifacts sent us this information about November’s artistic extravaganza.

Opening at the Downtown Artist Co-op is Cliff Whitakers new show “Visions of My World”. The show opens Thursday, November 5 with a reception from 5-8 p.m. It will be on exhibit in the gallery until 28 November. Cliff Whittaker is a photographic artist who specializes in mid-19th century-style impressionist images. He has studied and been influenced by the French Impressionist works of artists such as Manet, Pissaro, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Van Gogh and others of that period. His work is often mistaken initially as oil on canvas painting.

December Rain by Cliff Whittaker

His work involves every day activities along Franklin Street and inside businesses such as Hodgepodge, Blondie’s, Front Page Deli and Blackhorse Pub. Cliff says that his art is more like that of a contemporary historian in that his candid images show people and places as they are in that instant. And, maybe some time in the future people will look back at those images and remember their own impression of “the good ol’ days.”

ARTifacts will feature the booths of Ashley Richardson, John Glass & Ginger Murvey-Beirus. «Read the rest of this article»

Roxy Regional Theatre brings New York City to Clarksville in “Rent”

By Debbie Boen | August 8, 2009 |

Several years ago I had the extreme pleasure of calling people in to be filmed as they talked about the good ole days at Dunbar Cave.  The Friends of Dunbar Cave and Jason Baggett of Clean Cut Productions at Austin Peay were making a film which included the oral history of the resort.

As people talked about Dunbar Cave in its heydays their eyes would light up.  I could feel their excitement as they described the place that put life into their worlds.

Dunbar Cave bought the latest entertainers and the latest sounds to Clarksville; it brought celebrities and made celebrities out of the locals.   Zoot Parker, a local known for his great dancing, said that Hollywood didn’t have a thing over Dunbar Cave.  For kids and young adults the Cave brought the world here to Clarksville and they weren’t afraid of it.

“…brought the world to Clarksville”

I thought of this again as I left the Roxy Theatre after a performance of Rent.  «Read the rest of this article»
