Welcome to my web site. Although I have retired from the entertainment industry and have moved to the Villages in Florida just over a year ago, I have become quite active in the arts. This is a blessing, particularly since I no longer need to enter the difficult and taxing arena of competition.
Whether I perform music on stage or embrace the joys of acting, you will find information about up coming shows along with a variety of pages containing audio and video files, two NEWSLETTERS, photos and other material which I hope you find entertaining.

I have been a proud member of the CUBS WORLD club ever since moving to the Villages. I thoroughly enjoy contributing articles to their monthly newsletter. This past October, during a membership meeting, I was presented with a beautifully framed certificate (below). It is an award I never expected and it is proudly placed on my office wall. NOTE: THERE WILL NOT BE A DECEMBER MEMBERSHIP MEETING. ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS AND WE'LL SEE EVERYONE IN JANUARY.
I'd like to invite you to check out a new feature on this site. THE WAYNE RICHARDS JUKEBOX is a page dedicated to celebrating the many recordings I've made through the decades. All areas will be represented here...my pop tunes...selections from film scores...stage productions and other surprises.
The page will grow as time passes by which is why I'd love for you to check it out as often as possible.
Simply CLICK HERE and you will be escorted to the WAYNE RICHARDS JUKEBOX, which is ready for business. AND ITS FREE! Thought you'd like that little feature.
By the way, I also will be adding another page of sound files containing episodes from my old podcast, MUSIC CENTRAL. I've been getting some requests to do that.

MY NEWEST MUSICAL IS...........
THE DREAM ROAD began as a small script I pieced together for the ACTOR'S STUDIO in the Villages. However, the group was closed a while back. This was the decision of its founder and coach, DEAN CORBETT. (NOTE...Dean trained under the great Lee Strasburg at the Actor's studio in New York.)
However, much to my surprise, Dean requested that I continue to develop the story into a full length musical. I gave myself a deadline of four months to complete, quite a different approach to a work since my previous musical, A SUMMER STORM, took over 20 years to complete.
However, THE DREAM ROAD just didn't pop out of my head recently. Its something I've thought about for a few years and was just waiting for the right opportunity to commit effort into the project. Dean Corbett was the encouragement I needed. He has and continues to be my theatrical guiding light and I urge you to check back on this web site in the not too distant future for details.
There are big things ahead or both DREAM ROAD and another original musical, A SUMMER STORM. For information CLICK HERE
