The Wayne Theatre Project

In 2000, Waynesboro City Council created the Wayne Theatre Alliance and empowered the group to oversee the revitalization of the Wayne Theater.

The purpose of The Wayne Theatre Alliance, Inc., is to provide, through the use and development of the Wayne Theatre, an environment in which all of the arts may be appreciated, enjoyed, learned, and supported.

The Alliance has worked with consultants and the community to create plans for a state-of-the-art educational and theatrical facility.

Clair F. Myers, Ph.D., Executive Director (E-mail)
Dr. Myers comes to the Wayne Theatre Alliance after a career in higher education and professional theatre including various positions with Ohio Northern, Kalamazoo College and Illinois Wesleyan University. At Elon University, he established one of the strongest undergraduate musical theatre programs in higher education. He holds a M. A. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. His resume includes stints as associate director of Open Stage of Harrisburg, a number of directing assignments in colleges, universities and professional venues, and acting, including regular appearances at the Allenberry Playhouse and in commercial films and videos. His interest in the development of new plays led to the establishment of the Playwrights’ Roundtable and the production of a number of short- and full-length original productions in Pennsylvania and Maryland. He now lives in Waynesboro with his wife, Dr. Dorcas Lohr. He presently serves as the co-chair of the Historic Commission and is co-editor of a new publication on the history of Basic City. He also serves on the Cultural Commission.
