Union Bank & Trust became the latest community organization to financially support the renovation of the Wayne Theatre. Their gift will help to complete the multimillion-dollar project to reopen the 1926 movie theatre in downtown Waynesboro as the Ross Center for the Performing Arts.

“We appreciate the support we have had over the years from Union Bank & Trust. They were active in helping the Alliance complete the process to gain tax credit and New Market funding for the project. The latest gift will be permanently recorded on the Center’s Founders Board,” said Dr. Clair Myers, Wayne Theatre Alliance Executive Director.

The Ross Center will open with its first public performance by Robin and Linda Williams on March 4. The Preview season will continue through August. The season’s schedule will include musical performances, a weekly classic film showing, and a science and history lecture series. The Alliance’s website lists all events at the Ross Center and the opportunity to purchase reserved tickets.

The Ross’ Inaugural Season will  begin in September 2016 with a gala performance by a major national performer. Details will be made public later this summer.
