Wade’s first appearance in live theatre was in the role of “George” in the Riverfront Playhouse Production of “Same Time Next Year” for which he won the regional 2009 ARPEE Theatre award as Best Actor in a Lead Role. Since then he has appeared as “Narracott” in “And Then There Were None” as well as providing voice-over work as the voice of “Owen” in the same play and as the voice of the Southern Disc-jockey in “Steel Magnolias”. Other stage work includes performances in “You Can’t Take It With You”, “Footloose, The Musical”, “Dead To The Last Drop”, and as the Pirate King in “Pirates of Penzance”. Wade’ first acting experience was playing a young hippie protester in the 1974 film “The Klansman” starring Richard Burton and Lee Marvin. After many years in radio and appearances in dozens of TV commercials Wade moved behind the cameras and launched his own marketing and production company, WE Multimedia. Wade toured with Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson as principal videographer of their 2009 west coast concert tour as well as supervised video production of a reality show for the MTV network. In 2010 Wade formed the WE Multimedia Theatre Group and served as both Producer and Director of several productions including the North State Premieres of the plays “M*A*S*H”, “Happy Days – A New Musical”, and coming in June 2012 the stage version of "Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune" .
