Wood, William Burke (1779–1861), American actor, born in Montreal, Canada, where his parents, English actors who had emigrated to America, had taken refuge during the War of Independence. They later returned to the USA, where their son became the first native-born North American to achieve an important place in American theatre history. In partnership with William
Warren he was for many years manager of the
Chestnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia, and a diary which he kept from 1810 to 1833 contains much interesting material on the theatre. The list of plays given there each season shows in the earlier years a preponderance of Shakespeare and English classic comedies, perhaps because of Wood's own admirable playing of polished comedy, though he was also good in the lighter parts of tragedy. In later years more new American plays were produced.
