Wayside Theatre Grows Roots in Middletown Community
Middletown’s Wayside Theatre profits from a six show summer season and winter touring programs with Shenandoah College and Madison College. The venue, owned by Leo Bernstein and run by the Wayside Foundation for the Arts, aims to expand college productions and add a new balcony lighting and seating plan. The theatre fosters local support and plans for possible long term growth while resisting relocation.
