The Wollaston Theatre was a Neoclassical movie house located at 14 Beale Street in Quincy, Massachusetts, built in 1926. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, the theater—known affectionately as the "Wolly"—operated as a second-run discount cinema under the management of Arthur and Yvonne Chandler for many decades. The venue hosted the final performance of the Plasmatics and Wendy O. Williams in 1988. After closing in 2003 and changing ownership, the building was demolished beginning in June 2016, with the site subsequently converted to a parking lot.
