Clarksville, TN – Clarksville’s oldest professional theatre is turning ‘upside down’ this month with “Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical,” opening at the Roxy Regional Theatre’s temporary home at 114 Public Square on Friday, October 23rd, 2026, at 7:00pm.
This hilarious take on the hit Netflix series – and all its campy 1980s glory – invites audiences to take a trip back to Hawkins, Indiana, in 1983, when times were simpler, hair was bigger, and unsupervised children were getting snatched by interdimensional creatures.
Mike, Eleven, Lucas, Dustin, and the whole Hawkins gang will be on hand for a night of adventure, thrills, pubescent angst, heavy synth, poor parenting, convoluted love triangles, cheap effects, dancing monsters, and maybe, just maybe, justice for everyone’s favorite missing ginger, Barb Holland.
Directed and choreographed by Michael Ricciardone with music direction by Amy Frederick, “Stranger Sings!” stars Connor Currie, Nate Krohmer, Isaiah Raasch, Caroline Rakestraw, Rachel Ridenour, Ty Roberson, John Thomson, and Raven Whitefawn, bringing upwards of 50 characters to life.
