Raven Theatre

This not-for-profit theatre company, founded in 1983, is dedicated to presenting American classics and other works that illuminate the American experience. Their original children's theatre productions, presented throughout the year, also receive critical acclaim. The company's new theatre, a former supermarket which they bought and renovated in 2000, boasts two performance spaces that are wheelchair accessible.
