Warner Crocker News

According to Artistic Director Warner Crocker, 'In light of the recent news that the Wayside Inn may be put up for auction we have seen some confusion among some of Wayside Theatre's customers. To be clear, the Wayside Inn and the Wayside Theatre are two separate business entities. While the future of the Wayside Inn is now being decided by the Bernstein family, the Wayside Theatre is not a part of that process and is not up for sale and will remain unaffected by whatever decisions are made regarding the Wayside Inn. Wayside Theatre is completing its 47th season of producing professional theatre, continuing the run of the critically acclaimed audience favorite, Southern Crossroads through March 14 and preparing for its next production Cotton Patch Gospel to open on March 21, while working towards the opening of its 48th season in June of 2009.

Wayside Theatre's Artistic Director Warner Crocker is announcing a change in its 2008/09 Season Schedule. The next production was scheduled to be the musical review, Lies and Legends, the Songs and Stories of Harry Chapin. Instead of this offering, Crocker is programming an original musical piece of country and bluegrass flavor created just for Wayside Theatre called, Southern Crossroads. The production will star local musical sensation, Robbie Limon, and feature many of Wayside Theatre's favorite musical talents who have delighted audiences throughout the last several seasons. The performance is sponsored by Winchester Executive Suites, LLC.
