Chuck 1231, I can confirm that the Roxy is indeed a live venue. I attended a screening during the April 2009 Bare Bones Film Festival at the Roxy, and I sold a photo of the theater for use in promoting their summer 2010 live music lineup.
From 2010 a photo of the Roxy Theatre Here and Here in Muskogee.
Who would a person contact about renting the Roxy Theatre?
I’m thinking the theater is managed by a non-profit that might be connected with the City of Muskogee – perhaps a call to City Hall might be the best place to start.
Very nice looking theatre,thanks for the photos.
