Introduction

AllAboutWayside.com is an attempt to document the fifty-year history of the Wayside Theatre that produced live, professional theatre in Middletown, Virginia.  It is by no means a complete document, as there are still many unanswered questions.  But, it does attempt to tell the story of this organization and give an overview of what took place on its stage, along with the impact this theatre had on the cultural life of the Shenandoah Valley.  As it is a work in progress, it will be updated, amended, and corrected as material comes to the author’s attention.
