WAYNESBORO, VA (Wayne Theatre) – The Wayne Theatre invites arts lovers to experience Broadway during its “Autumn in New York” VIP Broadway Adventure, October 9-12, 2025. This four-day, three-night journey places guests in front-orchestra seats at three Broadway shows of their choice, gives them insider access to Tony Award-winning artists, and provides a luxury stay at The Knickerbocker Hotel, Times Square’s only five-star landmark property.

Curated and led by theatre historian Joseph Rosenberg, Ph.D. and licensed guide Alejandro Almaguer, the program combines front orchestra seats to Broadway performances, private salons with principal cast members, and expert-led explorations of Radio City Music Hall, the Garment District, Central Park, and Gilded Age mansions. Guests will also share meals and moderated conversations with Broadway producers, actors, and musicians, including the keyboardist from “Wicked.”

“This adventure is designed for anyone who has ever dreamed of seeing Broadway from the other side of the curtain,” said Rosenberg in a release. “Participants will gain a rare understanding of how New York theatre, architecture, and culture intersect, all while enjoying world-class hospitality.”

Wayne Theatre Executive Director, Tracy Straight, extends a personal invitation to the community.

“This is a New York City experience that is truly unlike any other. This trip has become an annual tradition for us at the Wayne Theatre; and each year, it just gets more and more exciting. It’s a true ‘VIP’ experience that creates so many unforgettable moments. We hope that couples, families, and individuals within our community will come with us on this Broadway adventure of a lifetime.”
