"I'M BUSIER IN RETIREMENT THAN I WAS WHEN I WAS WORKING!"...Wayne Richards
Having moved from the Chicago area down to Florida has opened up creative avenues that make the journey of my life personally satisfying. 50 years in the entertainment industry is a long, long time and I was one of the lucky ones who took a few skills, a lot of ambition and created a career. Piano/vocal work dominated my schedule, but embracing stage and film are special gifts I am grateful for.
I am no longer dealing with the harsh realities of the business end of things, but only embracing the arts. Since I've moved down here I've been in two stage productions, have appeared regularly at a marvelous venue called the ORANGE BLOSSOM OPRY and am currently putting the finishing touches on a new musical called THE DREAM ROAD, which with the help of a talented director by the name of Dean Corbett, will be produced and presented to the world. My other musical, A SUMMER STORM, which was produced in Chicago, has been polished and made into an album which could be released this year. STORM is also primed for a production.
This web site contains pages of information, video and sound files which demonstrate moments of my career and life that I hope you will find entertaining. In addition to the arts, my passion for Chicago Cubs baseball is also represented via my CHICAGO CUBS CHATTER NEWSLETTER, which can be seen either on this site or at www.cubsworld.org

On Thursday the 13th of December, I joined the cast of MURDER BY IMPROV to premiere this new work for the MURDER MYSTERY READER'S CLUB at the Rohan Center.
It was an honor to weave this improvisational mosaic with a great group of focused actors. In each experience on stage, there is much to be learned. We found out audiences love this play.
Thank you to Dean and my fellow cast members for an amazing experience on stage.
Thanks also to the audiences who sparked us and motivated us in this long-format presentation.

For MANY wonderful weeks, I've had the extreme pleasure of participating in the very entertaining JAM NIGHTS at this extraordinary venue. To be on the same stage with so many talented musicians is a treat. Many thanks to Suzanne and the entire staff for making me feel so welcome. Please check here often for future appearances!
