Clarksville Community Theatre was born from a simple but powerful idea: our community deserves the same creativity, opportunity, and sense of belonging that theatre students experience every day in the classroom.
The vision for Clarksville Community Theatre began with three high school theatre teachers who saw firsthand how transformative theatre can be for young people building confidence, fostering collaboration, and creating spaces where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. They asked a natural next question: What if the broader Clarksville community had access to that same experience?
From that question, Clarksville Community Theatre was formed.
Our Mission
