"With all of the uncertainty in the world, it's wonderful to announce that Raue Center and Williams Street Repertory continue to thrive. I am proud to produce great work in our charming town of Crystal Lake," says Founding Artistic Director, Richard Kuranda. "We are offering work that entertains and asks some great questions. Theater that prompts thinking, celebrates our past and our community through song, through children's stories and through dialogue with our maker," he continues. "This year we will explore cultural life from the '50s to modern day and ask 'where are we going?' I hope you will join us!"
