Vokes Theatre

Vokes Theatre is a theatrical company based in Wayland, Massachusetts that presents both contemporary and traditional productions. The venue hosts regular performances throughout the year, drawing audiences from the local community and surrounding areas.

The theater was built in 1904 as a replica of a London playhouse and transferred to the Vokes Players in 1946. Beatrice Herford and Sidney Hayward originally created this space before handing it over for ongoing community theatrical work.

The walls display signatures from accomplished performers who have appeared on this stage over the decades. These handwritten marks from artists like Ellen Terry, George Arliss, and Katharine Cornell reflect the venue's long history of theatrical talent.

The venue is located in central Wayland and can be reached by car or local transportation. Visitors should check the official website in advance to learn about current productions and performance schedules.

For its first three decades, the venue operated as a private space where performances were held only for selected guests from New England. This exclusive history shaped the intimate character that still defines the theater today.
