The Wollaston Theatre is a historic theater at 14 Beale Street in Quincy, Massachusetts.
It was built in 1926 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. In recent decades, the "Wolly" was a second-run discount movie house, run by Arthur and Yvonne Chandler.
The theater was closed in 2003. After many plans to purchase it and renovate it,[2] following Arthur Chandler's death, the theater was finally sold to Miao Kun “Michael” Fang of Weston, MA.[3] Michael Fang is the owner of the C-Mart supermarket chain.
The Wollaston Theatre was the venue for the last performance of the Plasmatics and Wendy O. Williams on their final tour in 1988.
