The 180-seat Wayside Theatre and adjoining Curtain Call Cafe located at 7851-7853 Main Street in Middletown, Virginia. The building was originally a movie theater when completed in 1946. It's designated as a contributing property to the Middletown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2003.

History of the theatre company via their website:
"The company was born in 1962 as the Maralarrick Players. A year later, Leo Bernstein, a Washington DC-based financier and real estate developer, bought the theatre building and changed the name to Wayside Theatre. He hired Owen Phillips, then artistic director of the Barter Theatre, as the Wayside's first artistic director and in 1963 the theatre began employing professional actors through Actors' Equity Association. In 1966, Wayside Theatre was incorporated as Wayside Foundation for the Arts, an independent non-profit organization with a Board of Directors from surrounding communities.
Our current Artistic Director, Warner Crocker, succeeds Christopher Owens, who led the company's growth from a 10-week summer stock company to a seven-month regional theatre. Intriguingly enough, Mr. Crocker's first acting class was taught by Mr. Owens' predecessor as artistic director, Ed Steele.
The artists appearing come from around the country, from New York, Chicago, Washington DC, Atlanta and beyond. Many of them award winners, they bring extensive theatre, film and television credits to their work with us. Each season they, like their predecessors, travel here, to the northern Shenandoah Valley, to reside, work and craft a season of theatrical experiences for our audience."
Famous contributors to Wayside Theatre have included Kathy Bates, John Lee Beatty, Peter Boyle, Jill Eikenberry, Stacy Keach, and Susan Sarandon.
