Raue Center and Williams Street Repertory Join THE GHOSTLIGHT PROJECT
It is with great pride and a spirit of solidarity with Steppenwolf, Victory Gardens, Goodman and many other theaters in the region, that Raue Center For The Arts and Williams Street Repertory announce their joining of The Ghostlight Project.
On January 19, 2017 at 5:30 p.m., Raue Center and WSRep will stand behind their missions and join theaters from all over the nation to create a "light" for the future of the arts.
Inspired by the theatrical tradition of leaving a "ghost light" on in a darkened theater, the light created by The Ghost Light Project will physicalize the missions of Raue Center and WSRep to enrich the lives of ALL through the arts regardless of race, class, religion, age, gender, identity or sexual orientation. This light will mark a pledge by Raue Center and WSRep to stand for and protect the values of inclusion, participation and compassion for EVERYONE. Raue Center and WSRep invite the community to join them.
The Ghostlight Project will bring together over 500 participating organizations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. From Broadway to high school auditoriums, members of the theater community will gather from coast to coast on January 19, 2017 at 5:30 p.m. in each time zone to light a light and make a pledge.
Raue Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of all through the arts. For 15 years, they have provided quality programming - striving to make it pertinent, available and affordable to all. As a painstakingly restored, 1920s regional Showcase Theatre named for its benefactor-Lucile Raue-Raue Center has attracted the finest stars, Broadway shows, musicians and artists. Named on the League of Historic American Theatres, Raue Center is one of the finest examples of restored art and decor in the nation. The 750-seat theatre, located in historic, downtown Crystal Lake, is a gathering place for our region's citizens and has become a true destination.
