Well, not quite, but Friday night marked the unveiling of the new Wayne Theatre marquee. A crowd of more than 500 people filled West Main Street in front of the Wayne for an unveiling ceremony and a special edition of the monthly “River City Radio Hour.” You can watch the unveiling ceremony – broken up into two segments – here at AugustaFreePress.com.
