History of Wayne Theatre

Wayne Theatre goes back a long way, has experienced many ups and downs along the way, but still managed to pull it through. They first opened on January 18, 1926, with plans to be a Vaudeville movie house. It made its name in the playing field, yet a fire consumed the theatre and resulted in being a twin cinema. To avoid foreclosure the Wayne Theatre Alliance was created and resulted in the renovation. On March 1, 2016, Wayne was restored and opened to the public with a preview season offering an array of theatre and live performances.
