Waynesboro's premier live entertainment performance venue in which all of the arts may be appreciated, enjoyed, learned and supported. Welcome to the historic Wayne Theatre/Ross Performing Arts Center. As you see, we have so much to celebrate. The Wayne Theatre has had quite a history of making an impact on our community since it first opened its doors as a vaudeville house in 1926.
The Wayne's restoration and re-opening in 2016 was fueled by a handful of community members who had the vision of what the Wayne could mean to the community. We like to say that the restoration of the theatre was done by the community, for the community and ultimately is being given back to the community.

Saw Arlo Guthrie last week. A wonderful evening, more like a visit with Arlo in his family room than a concert. The sound system was terrific and it is perfect setting for the personal shows that many entertainers are delivering these days.
Also, saw Hairspray last year and it too was a great evening. Congratulations to the community for restoring this venue and providing quality entertainment.
