Our Members
The People Behind the Power of the Room.
Every member of South Shelby Connectors has been voted in by the room. That means when you meet one of us, you're meeting someone the whole group trusts — someone who shows up, follows through, and earns their referrals by doing the work right.
We operate on a one-seat-per-industry principle. That means every member has full ownership of their category inside our group — no internal competition, no divided loyalty, and total clarity about who to call for what.
Scroll through and meet the professionals who make up our room. If you don't see the category you need, reach out — our members know who to trust, even outside the group.

Peach Country Theater
Entertainment
Clanton’s first theater opened in 1909 in Chandler’s Building. Over the years, several theaters operated in town under different names before Charles Wade opened the Wadesonian Theatre in 1922 inside the old First Baptist Church building. After a fire destroyed the church theater in 1923, Wade reopened the Wadesonian on the west side of the railroad in 1924.
In 1936, Charles Wade and his son opened the “New Wadesonian Theatre,” while the original location continued operating. Wade also owned theaters in several nearby towns. The New Wadesonian closed in 1956, and the original Wadesonian continued showing movies into the 1970s, with one of the last known films being The Golden Voyage of Sinbad in 1973.
